• 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.

I downloaded the firmware so how do I get on the pager.
Make sure you have saved your codeplug before applying the firmware update. Close the pps click on the downloaded firmware exe while your pager is connected to your PC follow the instructions!!

Upgraded to 1.3 and the new programming software. Still no Bluetooth. Go figure.
My airpods work just fine with 1.3... there is a three-beep thing that I'm trying to eliminate at the beginning of some transmissons. I'll check the PPS to see if there's a setting I can change. But set up was a breeze.

The issue of the randomly disabled external antenna when pager is inserted in the charger has apparently not been fixed. At least not on mine; inserting the pager causes improved signal for a few seconds, then it goes to "Out of Range" with no reception.

I'm not familiar with your issue. Have you tried multiple amp chargers? Have you cleaned the contacts on the bottom of the pager? Eraser works well for cleaning.

I tried to program my G5 and it said cannot program a G4 profile onto a G5. I don't have a G4 anymore. So I am not sure why it is saying that.

Does the Trunk Hold and Blok work when the Unication is in the Trunk Search mode or whatever they call it when you monitor everything on a trunked system?

Read the profile from the pager in C / C3. Make the changes by opening the profile you just read. Write back (program) the pager.
