The Official Latest G4/G5 Firmware and PPS Thread

[troymail]

David - I'm sure the answer is yes but just to confirm - your Phase 2 will work on both the G4 and the G5 - VHF, UHF, and 7/800 - correct?

That is correct.

... and we should be good to release at some point in the near future.

Thanks for narrowing that down again :roll:

Listen I can only give you information that I have. I apologize but I cannot give you an exact date of release because I do not know when that is going to occur. I can just pass on my observations that we are closer now than we have ever been to a full release of phase 2 and that it works well. I didn't in all honesty have to say anything at all about the closed beta and that we were getting closer. I just thought it might be of interest to our customers on this forum. In future I will most likely keep these things to myself until a final release is ready.

I on the other hand am glad to know that you are close and we have something to look forward to.

I hope you understand most of us here appreciate any news you can provide!

Phase II

So with Phase-II that uses TDMA correct?

In this correct will this allow comvention DMR?

Thanks.

I didn't want to say it, but in the documents for the firmware update it takes about DMR oddly, I'm guessing that's under wraps but will be implemented in time my .02

Please don't. I have money set aside to buy one as soon as Phase II is available. Phase II is heavily used in my area.

I appreciate all the updates you can give.

Send me your closed beta firmware and I’ll sign a non-disclosure and tell you in two days what’s wrong with it, just like I posted here regarding the last buggy “final release” firmware you guys put out. Get off your soapbox.

The attitude is not helping your case.

David is a great guy, and goes out of his way to be helpful. I have been in meetings with him, and he has tried to be helpful with every concern. These issues are beyond his control.

No attitude, just facts. And yes, I’m well aware he is limited to what he can and can’t say. But don’t come here and say “I’ll just keep things to myself in the future.” Either you are authorized to release the information or your not. That sounded like an attitude coming from the other direction.

Figured I would repost here so that every has a better chance of seeing it.



Just so everyone knows we have a version of Phase II in Closed Beta with a few select system admins now and everything is looking good we just have to add in a few of the features that we support on Phase 1 and we should be good to release at some point in the near future.

Thanks David
Would I get an email like the last time when the update is out?

That's probably your best bet. People don't like to be strung along (what has it been now, two years?)

By the way, I got an email today from Ray's Pagers about a few Unication promotions and he said "Unication still projects the Phase II firmware upgrade to be available early 2018."

And so it goes. Fire away at me fan boys.

I'm reminded about something related to flies and honey.

We are glad that you do! Thanks and keep up the good work - it's appreciated.

 

[IAmSixNine]

Thanks for the update David. Dont let the poor attitude of a few ruin it for the rest of us.
Id be happy to sign a NDA as well to help test Phase 2 in one of my 2, or both of my G4 units.

So recently I discovered that when programming my G4 off the new PPS and firmware for the order in which the Talkgroups are added into a knob position, that the order in which they appear on the pager is not the way its set on the PPS. Thus made me think that priority would not work correctly. I haven't tested this long but it seems that it doesn't affect the priority but it throws you off to see a different order on the pager than the one that its supposed to be. The order it does show on the pager is the order in which the TGID was added to the PPS.

This is what I mean:

Order in pps:
64F911
64E911
64P911
64FRED
64FBLUE
63FWHITE
64OCEMS
64P164
64SPEV1
AirLZ1
Pentwater PD
Hart PD

Order on Pager:
64F911
64FRED
64E911
64OCEMS
64P911
64P164
64SPEV1
64FBLUE
64FWHITE
AirLZ1
Hart PD
Pentwater PD

Anyone else have this problem?

Are you certain that was the order programed into the pager? (Just thinking the PPS list might have been changed, post programming.)
