How do you program a G5 Unication Pager to work Fire Department? (South Carolina)

[Burdick10]

I have been attempting to tinker with the Unication PPS and figure out how I can make a trunked system act the same as a Minitor 6 (VHF). We have both systems, we have digital and analog tones. We also use a simulcast system for our pagers currently (So our digital frequency comes over our VHF system).

Everytime I put our 800MHz frequencies into the pager and input the appropriate TGID (Dec)-(Hex) and utilize the P25 portion for tones it pulls over other talk groups. I have tried using the Binding method on Trunked TG-Scan and I have tried with Trunked TG-Monitor. I have not been able to make any of them work.

Our system works like this: We transmit and receive on one 800MHz frequency and includes tones. We have four channels total, a Dispatch, TAC 1, TAC 2, and a Roaming Channel. When I put my program into the pager, I hear other agencies and I have identified them by the TGID that displays on the pager and I have triple checked to make sure they are not attached to the trunking system list.

I would love to see how another department makes it work for them!

The knob needs to be set to Trunking TG-Scan and the binding feature set to Sub-Group Feature in order for it to alert. If you have it set to monitor, you will receive any TG that comes across the site.

How exactly do you want it to handle alerting? You can have it receive traffic from dispatch, as well as alert, or you could set it up to remain silent until a tone is sent.

I want to have a program for both. I have tried the binding function by sub group and changed it to manual monitor, and the pager still pulls traffic from other talk groups that aren’t supposed to be associated with that channel
