As title says, I am new to the Unication G5 and total lost on programing it. All YT videos are 7+ years old and the PPS software has advanced a lot since then. Any help would be amazing!

Thanks

As premium subscriber to this site you can just download the system and talkgroups you wish to monitor with the G5 into the PPS

You still need to decide and configure which talkgroups you what or each knob position.

So I found a code plug for my area ( I am in Northwest Ohio Regional Public Safety System) but it didn't have the sheriffs dept just a bunch of fire channels. I added the sheriffs dept and programmed the scanner but when I am on the sheriff channel I added there is a steady red light

Interesting, where did this come from? What did it cover? What site did it connect to?
I added the sheriffs dept and programmed the scanner
What sheriff's department? How did you add it? What screen were you on in the CPS when you added it?

Does it receive the fire stuff on the PPS you loaded into the pager?

Is SO on same system as FD, did you just add TGs or program something else? There are three towers on that site, are you sure the code plug had a tower near you and not another further away?

If what you are looking for is any of the above police departments. Then you will find them listed under unified law northwest and unified law southeast.

Lucas county will be undergoing a huge consolidation of dispatch talk groups dealing with law enforcement and fire. Toledo Police will not be changing anything as of now other than the addition of Washington Twp police dept being dispatched by Toledo Police Central Dispatch.

All other law enforcement is being consolidated into two new dispatch groups

Lucas County Northwest - 60000 Northwest - Richfield Twp (Sheriff units), Berkey Village Police, Sylvania Twp, Sylvania City, Harding Twp (Sheriff units), Spencer Twp (Sheriff units), Springfield Twp (Sheriff units), Holland PD


Lucas County Southeast - 60016

Southeast - Swanton Twp (Sheriff units), Providence Twp (Sheriff units), Whitehouse Village, Waterville Twp PD, Waterville City PD, Monclova Twp (Sheriff units), Maumee, Oregon, Jerusalem Twp (Sheriff units)


By November 2, 2021 all dispatch channels for said law enforcement agencies will be consolidated into the two talkgroups for Lucas County

Toledo Police will remain unchanged other than they now dispatch Washington Twp Police Dept on their central dispatch chan

The only sheriff dispatch TG that is listed 12200. That’s emergency all call. Once the dispatchers consolidation was finished, the sheriff units have been dispatched as above.

So I am trying to listen to Springfield Twp fire. I've imported from RR the talkgroups under unified fire and ops15 but nothing comes over. Any ideas?

The big city near me dispatches my local TWP FD on P25. Problem is, they dispatch multiple departments on the same frequency. Is there a way I can isolate my department from the rest so I don't have to hear a city i don't want to hear? I've looked into possibly doing it by tone only but can't find my TWP FD tones.

Same frequency or same talk group? If it's the same talk group # then no, You will need to get the tones.

If it is same frequency yes, by entering just your TG, but if it is the same TG being shared, then no.

Springfield Twp Fire does not have specific tones since they are dispatched with the rest of the county. They also do not have an alert talkgroup, which some departments in the county have. Unfortunately there is no way to listen to only Springfield Twp Fire. This is the downfall of a consolidated dispatch center.

You also mentioned the SO was encrypted. Which SO are you talking about. None of the law enforcement dispatch talkgroups as encrypted so I'm not sure why you think that. Some of the Toledo Police vice/gang talkgroups are encrypted but most a vast majority of the system is in the clear.
