Unication G5 Scanlist Edits

[CqDx]

Hi all,

I have a APX radio that I have long used for monitoring and listening only and have been seriously considering the G5 as my next radio. I would like to know if the G5 allows scanlist edits "on-the-fly" without using the program.

For example, I want to nuisance delete a channel / talkgroup while keeping the radio in scan mode for the 10 other talkgroups I would like to monitor.

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can block a talkgroup in the scan mode. It will blocked until you back to that knob position.

I think there are some settings that will remove the block in certain amount of time, but never used those settings.

Also have a hold function that works the same way ans you can unhold from a talkgroup.

No really way to edit scanlists without a computer.

As mentioned, perhaps in the Unication world " editing on the Fly" is an over reach, you can temporary block and or hold a talk group. There s a time limit on the hold feature.

That’s great, thanks for the feedback!

There s a time limit on the hold feature.

The hold feature must have some user settings. I had the hold on for hours and hours on end mainly, due to operator error on my part with leaving it on and falling asleep. Stayed on for hours and was still on when I looked my G4 or G5.

The hold time can be set to between 0 and 99 seconds. A setting of 0 will hold until you unhold. This setting can be changed on the unit if you have talkgroup hold on in the software.

You can hold on a talk group while in a trunking system. During conventional scan, you can 'stay', which is holding a channel. However, you can only 'block' aka nuisance delete a talk group, but not a conventional channel while scanning. There is no temporary way to remove a conventional channel from the scan list.

Of course editing both the Hold and Bloc can only be activated using the PPS.

Just beware, Unications have no scan delay.
