G5 Stock Antenna

Sounds like the site you’re monitoring rolled to a new control channel. Make sure to put in all the control channels for a given site so you can avoid this happening.

Site 1-071/1-47 Richmond’s primary CC 853.1125 is functioning like normal on my scanners. And for clarification, I did fix the issue pertaining to this post. Thank you for the input, though. That is something to always consider happening.

Lesson learned: Don’t put non-OEM equipment on a device you don’t want bricked. 😆

I have Unication G4, sometimes I switch the stock antenna with Motorola APX 800MHz antenna, and it fits perfectly.

I've tried the Kenwood option as it's interface is as close to unication sma, however I don't see a big difference in fringe reception, maybe 1 bar at times but nothing consistent.

I asked Ray at Ray's pagers and he stated that the stock unication antenna was disected by someone and revealed a chip inside, so in reality, this is one time the stock antenna does what it's supposed to.

How to open back case of Unication like this? I have unscrew all of screws in the back of Unication G5, but I don’t have any idea how to open the back case.

Once you get all those screws out you, need to pry the back off with a very thin yet strong spudger like a guitar pick or dedicated tool. Good luck. Not responsible for what happens next! Make good choices.

Thank you, it turns out that I can open it without the help of any tools. It only takes a little patience to open it, because there seems to be an adhesive part in the middle.

My G5 with the stock antenna sitting in my living room is receiving a site 20 miles away with approx -97 dBm signal that my SDS100, BCD325P2 and BCD996P2 could not receive with various directly connected antennas. I can receive it on the scanners with an outside antenna with an antenna amplifier.

I also can occasionally receive a site 70 miles away. So it seems to be working quite well.
