• 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.

Does anyone have any idea (or an actual answer is ok too) of what size the Unication G4 or G5 battery cover screws are? I hate to order a new back just because I need a couple screws.

if you have another one to compare it to, many hardware stores have a chart to size them up.
Ace down the road does.

Thanks I'll try that and see what they have. I have done that before but I didn't remember if the sizer they have there would go small enough. Frankly I was trying not to loose yet another one.

It would be nice if Unication came out with a battery cover that is easily removable without tools so you can change out with a spare battery for emergency purposes.
Don't think we're gonna see that happen, however interesting thought.

Maybe if there is ever a G6 release. I'm sure the water resistant rating would drop but this would be one cosmetic design change I'd like to see.

Were the screw sizes determined? I need to replace one, too. (Once I get the one with the damaged head extracted.)

No,I honestly ordered another case back and it came with new screws so I didn't end up going. Sorry if I ever do figure out the size, I'll report back.
