• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Received my G5 today. Using the latest firmware and software my tone 3 is different. Your tone 3 is what I want though.

So I have been in contact with Unication, they are unsure as to why my tone 3 is different. This is the case with two G5s that I have.

That's odd. Nonetheless I love my G5 so far.

Hello all,
I have unication G5 pager and I love it. I live in Baltimore County and I'm wondering if I can set it up to be paged when my local fire company receives a call.I understand that Balt county no longer uses two tone.
I am trying to get it to alert me when Golden ring station Engine and medic 16 are dispatched.. is there another way I can be paged besides the two tone? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm confused about pl/ctcss..Thanks to all..

Any chance we will see 2 tone alerting for P25 digital? Creating additional talk groups for paging/toning creates a lot of work to be done on dispatch consoles.

It is possible but it depends on how they are being paged. Do you know how they are being alerted?

Some P25 systems use data addressing ie data private call to alert specific pagers departments.

Could you provide some more info about this? Particular P25 system? Motorola, Harris...

Looking for a way to go fully digital with paging out multiple departments without using multiple talk groups as paging talk groups.

Thank you so much.

On a positive note, the receiver in the G5 blows away that in the Minitor VI as far as sensitivity;

That is surprising to learn considering the G5 is rated at 6 microvolts and the Minitor at 3.5 (vhf). That translates to more than 20dB signal difference in favor of the Minitor. The G5 must be underrated in the specs.

I've been disappointed by the VHF. MY minitor 5 never missed a call. I'm missing several with the g5.
