• 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.

It's on each P25 system.View attachment 174984

There is a note in the help section that says:
Each trunking system can set different SUID, this feature is only for G5N Model. If you are using old Gx model, you can set the SUID on "Conventional Group ID Setting / Pager ID Setting" page.

I don't know what a G5N model is (I have a G5, never heard of a G5N), but it's probably a good idea to adjust the SUID in the other location it mentions (screen E6, click on the "Pager ID Setting" tab) also. You have the same options there--setting an ID or unchecking the "Enable" box.

I expect it would be enough to simply uncheck the "Enable" box, but to be on the safe side I set all of my SUIDs to something other than "1" before disabling. If any of you system admins wants to experiment and let us know if unchecking the box is enough to cause the pager to ignore inhibit commands, please do :)

And hope it responds to the uninhibit command if it doesn't ignore it. ;)

G5N is a newer model which had a different chip in it.

When I click disable in both E2 and E6 (and save it) and go back in to the setting it is back to enabled and 1 again. However, if left enabled and changed to something greater than 1 it does save it. All mine currently say no setting.

This is an excellent thread, I care for (pro bono) about a dozen G5 for various responders. I have some work to do. Folklore had some other locals G5’s stunned that had to go back to Uni, now I understand. Thanks all.

I just refreshed my memory...most of the Unications responded to the uninhibit command, however at least one G5 did not (unsure of the vintage/firmware)

My strategy was to put my NAS and Unication RIDs way outside of the range of IDs that were in use on the system. Typically something random in the 16 million range. Of course if some knucklehead happens to use that ID and gets his radios shut off while I happen to be listening,, I am hooped as well. But I figured the odds were much better than using an ID in the ranges that they have in use.

I've been seeing several "Registration; RID=1 REFUSED" entries when monitoring our state's (TACN) system.
Interesting, it looks like TACN radios have full spectrum CC scan, non adjacent site search and/or Intra WACN all enabled then? I've seen a few attempting to register on our system during DXing when atmospheric conditions were right and we're states away from TACN. And yes we do log/monitor our systems very closely.
