I did the Unication G5 DMR upgrade a few days ago and now I am experimenting with Free Scan in the digital modes.
Here are a few things I have discovered so far:
-It appears as if the protocol selection of DMR isn't DMR only, but rather analog AND DMR. Here is what the PPS Parameter Description for Protocol shows for that:
Selects the additional protocol to use. Free scan will always landing when the carrier detected on the scanning frequency. When additional protocol selected, pager will try to detected the protocol activity. For future updates, I would greatly prefer either DMR only or a selection of DMR only or both DMR and analog.
-I don't see a setting for carrier squelch level in the Free Scan settings. Is there a way to change the carrier squelch level in other settings that will work in the Free Scan settings?
-The signal strength meter shows all bars the entire time I am in the Free Scan mode, even when I am not receiving any signals.
-The Step Size doesn't behave like I would prefer. For example. If I wanted to Free Scan from 150.995 in either 7.5 or 15 kHz steps, it seems to begin those steps at the even MHz. For example, instead of 150.995, then 151.010, I think it will start at 150.995, then 151.000 and what ever the selected increment is from there.
