Unication Trunking Free Scan Beta Firmware

[trido]

Poll for Beta Scanning Firmware.
I am posting this Poll on my own I dont represent Uni.
Just my idea to HELP show Unication many people would like to try this firmware.
I will get results to the right people at Unication when poll closes in 2 weeks.

Absolutely

That's funny. Several of us, including me, have been using Beta firmware for over a year now, maybe even two at this point, with ZERO feedback suggestions being implemented. Maybe Unication will see this instead.

I'm not sure the feedback isn't being implemented, with the teasing of the scanner on the Taiwan site, they may be moving away from modifications to the pager firmware in favor of incorporating the feedback into the scanner firmware.

As many have pointed out, the pager is not a scanner, although to the people that have taken the time to learn the idiosyncrasies and programming tricks it works extremely well as a scanner. If a decision has been made to develop a scanner, why would they continue to try and make the pager more like a scanner?

oh they will see this poll.if they do anything with it who knows.
Thought i try since we dont have scanner, lets give more people the scanning firmware to try.

the decision on scanner has been delayed they told me that.
How long they dont know or wont say.
My thought right or wrong give owners that might want some scanning the firmware to try.

Who is "they?" US or Taiwan? There are a lot of products that Taiwan offers that US doesn't and I don't think that is an oversight. The US operation has a market that is very lucrative and by the US operation's own statements, less than 1% of their sales are to individual users who utilize the product as a scanner. There isn't a lot of incentive there to cater to such a small part of your customer base when the home office could be coming out with a product that could make the R&D investment into the firmware modifications a net loss while taking resources away from the other 99%.

I am talking about Taiwan. UNI USA has nothing to do with beta firmware or a scanner.

Taiwan sees the scanner market and I still think they will make one.
Just something happend?for now.
Covid
Relations with China
I am not sure maybe some of the above and maybe other reasons.

I truly enjoy my Unication receiver , more so than any other consumer grade scanner I have or currently own. The notion of not introducing a new firm ware to enhance the current models in favor of a new model radio makes no sense . I compare this scenario to the IOS devices as the current IOS 15.1 still supports older iPhones . There has to be better reasons as to why we have not seen the Unication 1.5 FW.

The pager is a professional, public safety grade product. A scanner is a consumer product. Differentiation between markets by offering different products with different capabilities to address different needs is not unusual.

Thanks to all that voted we can end the poll we have an answer.
