I have an Older Version V.3.16.21 loaded in my Laptop, I tried recently to Read a G5 with it and it would not successfully read the unit. I plan to get a G4 and wonder if my Driver and/or version of PPS is outdated and if so, please advise on best way to get a beginner set up with G4/5 current Version of PPS and associated Driver. I am somewhat Computer Challenged. Thanks in advance.

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.
Help needed on Best user friendly Version of PPS

There is no beginner version, they are all the same. You may need new FW and drivers to use current PPS, PPS and drivers are on Unication download site, you'll need to contact a dealer for FW.
My suggestion is to upgrade to the most recent version of PPS, V.4.0.32. If your going to be confused, it's best to be confused on the latest version. There are significant changes in ver. 4 and so there's no sense to learning 3.16 if you don't have to. Your pagers must have firmware version 1.3 or later to use PPS 4.
I was thinking just about this same thing !
