As it turns out, the vhf freqs are not essential for me to monitor as they are simulcast on the Marcs P25 system i monitor constantly. Actually I was trying to use them with the tone alert function of the g5 as a learning process for me. Thanks for the suggestion though, best one I’ve seen so far and I’ll likely try that.

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.

OK ... so I have set up conventional channels. I added the PL/DPL to them, yet when they come up they show CSQ, not the channel name, on the screen.
What am I doing wrong?

If you're using a Monitor Mode knob position, there's only one channel that can "come up", so the channel name is not displayed during receive.
If you're using a Normal Scan knob position, the display should show "Landed on:<knob position name>"
I'll go back to the PPS and take a look. Thanks
Nope, its coming up as CSQ for the text, not the name of the channel.
What am I screwing up?
Did you enter a channel name where it says Alias to the right of Monitor mode for each channel?
All you will see in the window when it does stop on one of the frequencies is CSQ (if the Protocol is P25 is may display that, but I've had my G2 on a P25 conventional for 3 hours and I think they're inside in the A/C, nothing for me to verify that).
What you will see below the second CSQ is 'stopping on .....' with what ever alias you entered for the individual channel.
