• 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.

Try reading the pager, then write back to it. That is what I did and it worked.

Hopefully you were able to also duplicate the part about the computer not detecting the radio when the screen is dark?
I also experienced the USB connection failure which resulted in a Windows error message. (Win 10 Pro, 64 bit) I had to wake the screen and reconnect my G5 to the PC, and then all worked as designed.

Is there some way in 1.3 to add a one or two second delay when in TG Scan mode? Many times I can't press the hold button quick enough before it's moved on.
Thank you Unication for providing the update and I had 0 issues with the install.
I was going to comment on that too, do not recall seeing that as an option in PPS. It's a generally important function and would make TG hold far more useful - especially with busy systems.

And did anyone notice this was FREE! That’s a strong move. Uni.Tw should see a boost in sales. My AirPods paired right up to too. Bravo. 1.3 is clean and simple. Something to be said for that.

TGID is supported in the 1.4 scanning version.

If you're not using a drop-in charger or bluetooth, you can disable Voice Buffering to not have the delay. That's a per-knob setting.
If I never changed any other settings from the old codeplug what changed it? Ill have to try this. Thanks.

PPS question.....

Is there any way to sort the frequencies and groups ID's in PPS?

Each time I add another frequency or group ID, it adds at the bottom of the list. Over time, I have some frequencies/ID's that are related to the same system scattered all over the list, making it difficult to find things. It would be nice if PPS would allow you to move records up or down, sort by name, or cut and paste, insert, etc. That way I could keep all the associated systems grouped together, and make it easier to use a "master list" to build programming files for other radios that don't need everything on the my master list.

Is that a feature I haven't figured out, or a feature that's planning in future PPS versions?

Creating a spreadsheet import might work, but would require a lot of hand jamming.

Thanks

I was wondering the same thing since the delay was the first thing I noticed after upgrading to V1.3. It’s not a big deal to me either way and I can see how it’s beneficial when using Bluetooth or other external peripherals with the pager.

No. I know it worked in 1.2. I had sorted my Group ID Setting - Group List (D5) in that version by dragging entries.
I've confirmed that this feature works in PPS 3.16. I did not have this capability in 3.14. I misspoke in that it would have been a PPS feature and not a firmware feature. However, the assigned number of the entry does not change when moved.

To add a little more to that, even when you plug it in to charge with the included cord/brick, it won't start charging until you wake up the screen.
