Unication G3 scan issue

[firebell9137]

Hi. During normal scanning mode of 4 to 5 channels, analog vhf/uhf, on my G3 it cuts off the beginning of each transmission. And sometimes the 2 tones sets, therefore not allowing it to decode. It just started doing this and i havent changed any settings at all. How can i stop this? Using new and latest firmware/pps. TIA

Here's a couple things you can try:

In tab E4, you can try changing the signal detect wait time to 200ms, or even 100ms. With the default setting, it's almost a half a second it needs to hear the tone before it does anything, so it could just skip right over it. This example is for Motorola, but you could also try user define, and adjust the times. I'm not 100% sure, but maybe add 200ms to tone 2 duration? My thinking is that it would still alert off of the 2nd tone if the scan skipped over the first one.



Second thing would be to change the stay time setting for the knob that's scanning. Try dropping it to 100ms to double your scan speed.

It's on user define. I have the last 3 settings at

1000ms
900ms
1000ms

If the above changes don't help, maybe consider switching back to the last firmware that worked. I tried out the new version for a couple days and then switched back to V1.35

How do you switch back? I didnt think you could do that...

Which version did you have before? If you've ever updated firmware before, you may still have the old version on your PC. Open your C: drive and look in the Unication folder. It will have all of your setup files for PPS and firmware. If so, just open the folder that has the last version you were using and switch back.

It was with 2.01 when i got it. I have the 2.02 now. Different pps though

If that's what it came with, I'm assuming it has the newer chipset. If that's the case, I think V2.01 is the oldest firmware you can use.

Maybe try what was suggested here in post #81: New Firmware/PPS Release for G2-G5 Voice Pagers (V2.02 & V0.4.0.39)
