Unication G5 Individual Call List

[KC3GXH]

I have 2 G5's that I am trying to program to 2 different code plugs: one on a G5B, the other on a G5N. Both on a P25 Phase II system. Both have the newest firmware.

I am trying to program the Individual Call List for both. I can get the G5N to show the correct unit alias for each Individual ID. The G5B, however, is still showing the numerical Radio ID, not the alias put in the call list. I haven't been able to find a checkbox that would differentiate the two.

There's no difference between the two that I am aware in regards to the call list. I would try creating a blank profile, or as blank as you can make it, writing to the pager, and then writing your regular profile after that, and see if it works. I've run into issues before where having a ton of programming seems to cause problems, and writing a blank profile to clear out a bunch of old data, before writing new seemed to help in some situations.

In my case, I use a G5 700/800/VHF profile as my master profile. If I want the same programing in my G4 700/800, I convert the profile to work with different version G5s or G4. If a particular pager doesn't support, say VHF, the program will default any frequencies to the lowest 700Mhz frequency. This keeps me from having to maintain multiple profiles and trying to remember what I've done in each one. I share this in case you're using the pagers as a scanner, like me and many others. Of course, your situation may need separate profiles.

How are you handling the calls? Are you adding them to PPS directly, or are you importing the data from a file outside of the software? One thing you can try is to export your call list from the working profile to the desktop, or somewhere easy to find, open the offending profile, and import the working call list into it.

I created both code plugs from scratch by hand. Everything has been manually entered and verified. Each one is one a completely system that are 100+ miles apart.

Another option would be to combine all of the UID's into a single list that is shared by both profiles. I don't know how many you have, but the odds of having duplicates are pretty slim.

After adding an alias to a radio ID, how does one get them attached to that channel so it says the alias and not the radio id? I can't figure it out

Edit: does this work with P25C? The system I'm attempting to do this on is not a trunk

On tab E6, open up the member list and add radio ID's there. It should work similar to P25T, but I don't have a way to verify. I played around a bit and imported a few from my trunked system just to check.



If you have a substantial list, you can just add info to the first line and then export. This way you get a .csv file in the correct format. Make all of your entries to the file, or import from other sources. After you get your list together, simply import it back to PPS. One thing I noticed is that PPS shows an error for the UID's that are more than 6 digits long.
