Struggling with G5 Alerting to a SUID and Call Alert

[Ed3SJ]

Hey guys, I recently purchased a G5 and love this little pager. It has been great at work and gives me the ability to have a second means to listen to different traffic when responding to 911 calls. I have been able to program the radio just fine using both import from RR and also manually, but I am struggling getting this little pager to go off when my station gets alerted. Our system (P25 II - Lee County Fire/EMS in Florida) uses a new digital dispatch channel that alerts all of our stations without the use of tones. They send a signal to the radios and alert them, which opens them up. I am assuming this is Call Alert and uses a SUID to perform this function? I have all of the correct Talk Group IDs and the ID of the base station radio at the station. I figured that's all I needed to get it programmed to only go off when my station gets a call. (for the record, I can hear our dispatch, tac channels ext just fine when normally scanning).

I found 4 places to add a SUID in the PPS. So my settings are as follows.

Page E2 - I made a second copy of our P25 system and added the SUID (6813095) to the SUID and the Individual Call List
Page E6 - I selected the "Pager ID Setting" and added the ID to the P25T
Page E7 - I added a Knob Setting Channel that is TG-Scan Receiving mode, Correct P25 Trunk System, Binding is "Call Alert Feature" and "Auto Reset", I added the correct dispatch Talk Group and under Call Alert settings I enabled the Group Alias TGID to the correct TG as well. (did not use Alt)

After all of these, The pager does not ever alert to the station alert. It alerts to nothing. If I remove the ID from the E2 "Individual Call List", It will alert, but to every call out in the county.

Am I missing something? Its I know I must be.

Just a shot in the dark here, but have you tried monitoring this dispatch frequency and sequence with SDR Trunk to see what might be happening on the talk group during a dispatch?

I haven't, I guess that's something I can try. But I do have access to the information. Am I correct that setting the SUID to the same ID as the stations base station should work correct?

Sounds like my county. They dispatch for multiple departments. The departments use v-mute and only open when dispatch sends an alert. How did you find the suid’s? I would like to set my department up to only come on for my department
