• 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.

Hi all

I have two Unication POCSAG "E5" pagers and a Program dock however I cannot get them
to communicate with any versions of the software.

All I get is ""Please update your PPS software" [Wrong PPS]"

I have tried all versions E5 PPS software that I can download on a Windows 10
and Windows 7 based systems with no change.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Brett

I have not seen Pocsag pager software sense Windows 98
Good news, there is PPS software that was made past Windows 98 for various devices and continues to exist today since POCSAG ain't dead. The E5 software worked on Vista even!

Unfortunately I have not had much luck with Unication in the USA being I am based in Australia
Looks like the corporate HQ is in Taiwan, I would try that.
There is a sales email at the bottom

Unication doesn't really deal directly with customers. They want everything to go through dealers. Try getting in touch with Ray's Pager Sales or East Coast Pagers, they're both extremely helpful and experts on Unications. They may have the software since it was originally on a CD when shipped many years ago.

Can’t hurt to ask. I’m in Canada and they've always provided great service and assistance.

Hi all

In the last few days I had a small win, it so seems there some crucial information
in the PPS Software manual that has been a great help

Information
Only the correct version of programming software that matches the pager
firmware version is able to use for programming the pager.
The new programming software and programming manual will be released on
the Unication official website: www. unication.com

After some diging about I was able to obtain PPS Software 1.5.5Beta from 2017
and this has been successful in programming the Pager, that said I am now having
a learning curve with the software itself.

However I still have on other pager that I still need to find the correct PPS edition for,
at this stage I have updated the Unication Dealer and I am awaiting to hear back from
them
