Unication G2 - G5 Fleet Map / Spreadsheet For Tracking Programming

[Mr_Boh]

Has anyone created a spreadsheet, fleet map, etc. for the purposes of tracking the programming of zones/knob positions in their G-series pagers?

Trying to look for inspiration on how to record and pass on this information, especially when you create a knob position that has a ton of talkgroups in the scan list.

I tend to just generalize the knob positions in the description. (eg., XXXFD Pager, XXXFD MONITOR, OPS, ADJACENT, COUNTY, etc.)

I'm thinking the ones that understand that will have no problems and the ones that don't will not be carrying a list with them anyway.

Hope that helps.

What about D-11 in the PPS? Profile Detail Report.

This is what I've created to help me keep track and it seems to do a good job even with almost all 256 positions populated with over 5000 TGs. This is an example of the first few zones so not to overwhelm. Be sure to look at all 3 sheets.

First sheet is the zone channel assignment. Cell A1 shows how many knob positions are still available (256 max), and the current firmware allows for 8 knob positions and 64 zones. Channel & zone names are limited to 14 characters.

Second sheet is a layout of each knob position and the TGs and conventional channels assigned to each position. The grid allows for 64 TGs per knob position. Character limit is still 14.

Third sheet is the list of the TGs added, in the order they were added/imported so when I'm looking for a specific TG to add I know roughly where it will be in the list and can start at the top, middle, or bottom and search that way. Same goes for the systems so I know not to duplicate. Hopefully this helps, I know it's made it a lot easier to plan and maintain an expansive codeplug when I travel or have to justify deleting some channels to make room for others and revert back to original zone layouts afterwards.

@trumpetman is the purpose of this to document your configuration? Or is it possible to perform an import from it from within PPS?

It is solely for documentation and planning purposes.
