Uniden g5 simulcast motorola type 2 smartzone

[Reesjk]

Hello,

I am Part of the 911 system in new castle county. We use a 800 mhz simulcast/ motorola type 2 smartzone. I’m trying to use ny uniden G5 to conect to this system, but am having trouble. The system has convention frequencies, but you can only access the fire channels, and you cannot isolate individual channels. The quality is also much worse then the digital channels we use on our motorola radios. Can anyone point me to a good tutorial in how to program my device to be able to scan the individual talk channels/ offer some advice?

Uniden doesn't make a G5, Unication does so I've moved your thread from the Uniden forums.

The Unication G5 pager supports P25 trunking, not the older Type II trunking. Don’t confuse P25 Phase 2 with Type II. They are different animals.

Those would be trunked freqs, not conventional. The "fire channels" are talk groups. As @w2lie pointed out, the G5 does not so Smartzone type 2 trunking.

As said the G5 will not work on the New Castle current system. Not sure what conventional channels you are asking about but unless your on site of the incident I doubt you'll pick it up.

I believe you can scan the frequencies conventionally from the type 2 trunked system, but don't expect much in choosing which talkgroups you want or don't want, nor would you be able to trunk track a conversation as it jumps around. Basically, don't expect any better than what you are getting now with a type 2 smart-zone on a Uni pager.
