I am trying to program a 5 tone paging system on a unications pager. The ICOM radio 5-tone page alert is 77777 apparently in the Icom programing software. Is there a way to convert that or know what MHZ that would be to put into the pager since it does not go by single digit numbers.

It would help to know which Icom model and which Unication model. Many US Icom models will encode 2 tone and the Unication US G series voice pagers will decode 2 tone paging, but I don’t think the Unication G series decodes 5 tone signalling.
Unications can do 5 tone, I think your trying to enter the cap code in the wrong spot.
There's several variations of 5 tone signalling, the various standard formats are identified with names like CCIR, ZVEI, EIA or EEA and there's some non-standard versions in use as well. You have to know which 5 tone format the Icom is using to program the Unication.
The 5 tone format in Unication PPS is set up in the Protocol Parameter Setting tab, either pick one of the standard formats in the 'Tone Table' pull down or the 'User Define' if you need to customize the tone table.
The 5 tone cap code, 77777 in your case, is entered in the Group ID Setting tab. The actual tone frequencies are pulled from the tone table set earlier:

Awesome I will try that holy cow your amazing lol I have been trying for 2 years to figure it out and nobody has know anything about it since apparently no one 5 tones. yea it does the tone then makes delurp noise then repeats.
You cannot put two of the same tone in sequence. In your example of 77777, digit two and digit four would need to be the repeat tone.
