• 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.

well I changed over 300 TG to alert mode tone and alert tone none. Still missing traffic back to ver 1.35 never had this missing traffic issue.
I am having the same issue. Just upgraded to the newest firmware and pps last night. Now im missing approx. 2-4 seconds at the beginning of each transmission. I tried changing all the tg's to alert and that didn't help either. Do you have a link to download 1.35?

Getting pretty good success with 2.02 after following this advice. Here is what I did:
- factory reset pager
- updated firmware to 2.02
- factor reset pager again
- performed a Read Device into new profile
- loaded system into the new profile

It seems to performing just about as good as 1.33/1.35 now, will continue monitoring. Thanks for the tips!
this works for several of us.

i dont have the pps right now to tell where it is but setting in the pps to check for fact reset check that box upload to pager. That adds reset to menu in pager to do the reset . Maybe some one can post where that is in pps.

In the PPS its E8 pager function List Settings use Device Function Settings scroll to Function Settings Items then CHECK Factory setting. Now upload to pager and now it will have factory reset setting IN the pager.

Looking in the E8 tab, I noticed this checkbox. Would this be used for private calls for QCII?

Not 100% sure on the QCII part, but for private call, the answer is yes. If a dispatcher wants to target a specific UID, they can do just that. If you know the ID of a subscriber radio that receives them, you would need to program it into the pager. One thing to note about assigning an ID to the pager is that whenever the subscriber radio is keyed, the pager would remain silent.

Scan18. try this

Factory reset pager
then download from pager.
Start all over.
I imported from radio ref , fresh start
Seems much better.

When I upgraded from 1.35 to 2.02 I just kept using same data that was in 1.35.
Maybe that was a mistake and we should start CLEAN with 2.02.

Let me know if this helps on the miss calls.
I didnt do allat, i just made a new "codeplug" reloaded all the system data and it seems to work much much better

My brother got a new G5. I got it up and running, on my G5 (FW 1.31-11262020), I have a hold button where I can hold on a TGID.

I cannot seem to get his radio to show this button. Unication G5 firmware V2.02. Any input appreciated, ty.

You didn't tell us what PPS you are using, if it is the newest PPS (recommended for V2.02 FW) then it is tab E12

Anyone else having issues with alert tones after updating to v2.02? My custom alert tones always worked great until updating. Now it just vibrates which I have never selected. I'm also unable to revert to v1.33. Tried factory rest, and everything mentioned here. Any Ideas? I'm using PPS v4

Had I made a single change to the programming, I would agree that I made an error that I needed to track down. The only thing I did was update the firmware. The default alert tone was the only alert that worked, and it was fixed at an ear piercing level, which scared the CRAP out of everyone since we use it for our station package. Hazrat hooked me up, and I was able to revert to firmware 1.35 and everything is working perfectly now.
