• 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.

In anticipation to utilize the 4.0 PPS , I uploaded the 1.33 and noticed that somehow I lost the “Custom Voice” announcement feature when choosing different modes such as “Monitor” etc..( Pager no longer announces the mode”.
I verified that the particular mode and custom voice features are set in the PPS.
Any thoughts. Thanks

Your dealer is the source of the firmware. As previously mentioned , the new PPS 4xx would require the 1.33 and higher.

They used to. I'm not sure why they changed that policy. I don't like it either.

@belvdr @dancrosoft There was a time where these links were posted on a private Facebook site as "beta" firmware. Someone shared the links to sites (like RR) and I'm sure there were many calls and emails to Unication with questions which bombarded them....because of that they got rid of the FB group and took it down and removed all of the FW links on their website.

They used to post links to their production firmware via AutoUp on their site, and they even mention the current firmware. That's where I don't understand nor agree with the policy. If it's production firmware, make it available, even through AutoUp.

Anyone else seeing loss of relay functionality in 1.34? I confirmed I have it set, but it is no longer working after updates. I'm trying to figure out if its a firmware or pps version issue.

I have a Unication G5 on order from Ray's Pager Sales and got an email today that current orders are being held by Unication because they require new firmware before release to the public (probably due to a hardware revision?). Doesn't really fill me with confidence, but that could be one reason why they removed the firmware from their website (new version coming soon).

AutoUP was the previous way to get firmware updates. You entered a serial number and it guided you through the process. It's fairly simple to determine which device gets a specific firmware via a lookup table.

Hope the new pager works well. Keep us posted on that.

Looking at Ray’s Pager website. He currently has the Unication G Series Pagers on sale $50 off. He’s a great dealer. I’ve bought two G4s from him.

The sale is through all dealers through UInication

I find it hilarious Unication has a sale but they can't fulfil orders...

I'm still running V1.33 FW. How does a person go about obtaining updates now that they are not posted on Unication's website?

Not necessarily, several people have reported emailing support@unication.com or filling out the general contact form on the Unication website asking for the latest firmware release and getting sent a link to download it.

Go through your dealer if you have one, but if you bought your unit second hand or something, just email Unication, they will give it to you.

when I upgraded mine to 1.34 a month or so ago, i was able to obtain the firmware by changing the "1.33" in the autoup link to "1.34" pager works like a charm and havent had any issues with pages being saved as announcements
