• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Everyone,

I have a question regarding any experience sending in G5’s for repairs, specifically the micro USB port on the side. I have a couple that have with loose micro USB ports on the side I would like to get repaired.

I am looking to see what recommendations have been done for repairs and positive experiences, etc. Our local vendor suggested that we look at a ticket with Unication. Thoughts?

The other option is Uncation if the pager is less than 5 years old. I had a G1 Department pager buttons came off the front I called Unication to see how much it would cost for repair they ask for the serial number they stated it was over 5 years old and they would not repair the pager even if I paid.

Thanks for the info. These ones would be pushing that 5 year mark, as they were the first round we purchased. I would have to pull S/N and look at our purchasing records to see what that looks like.

If they are, would a third party vendor like one of these online pager sales that have the repair option fix for a rate?

I believe that Unication would repair the Out Of Warranty G5( regardless of its age) for flat fee of $199.00 plus any dealers fees. They will however return any unrepairable units to the owners.
