I have a G5 with joystick problems. I would like to know if a weak battery would cause the joystick not to function properly.

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.
Unication G5
- Thread starter Wingdriver
- Start date
Moved to the Unication forum as this has absolutely nothing to do with the RR database.
Very unlikely, joystick issues happen frequently and there are many threads in hear already. Contact your dealer and have them start a repair ticket for you.
Unication refusing to repair devices older than 5 yrs old
Uhhhh ... aren't these public safety devices? I use my G3 and G5 for the Fire Service. They both have scrapes all over them. Apparently, in Public Safety, your first obligation is to protect your Unication pager. o_O
G4 Center Toggle Button
I have had my G4 since August and my center toggle button is no longer working. I can no longer go back and listen to previous recordings. Is this a common thing others are experiencing?
G5 "save" button not working
All the sudden today my MBox/save (red colored square 🟥 ) button stopped working. Which means I can scroll to new zones, but can save them. I've tried the 3-button reset to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Will they come out with a G6 that will do a uhf and vhf 800 MHz
You need three pagers so you don't miss anything.
Eh, 2 and a couple analog scanners gets it pretty well...LOL.
Could be, I was just guessing at a use case.
I know at one point I had 3, and finally decided I really didn't need the 3rd one. Honestly where I live I can get the simulcast pretty well on either the 536 or 996 XT so I've used one of the other of those on occasion also. I'll be honest though, when things get hectic, and I really want to seriously listen, I am glad I have two of them. BUT, then again, no single device can receive two places at the same time so it's a moot point.
