V1.31 G2-G5 Firmware Release

Thanks. Getting that code on three different machines indicates it's the "doesn't understand" case and most likely a bad pager USB port. Ray Zimmerman agrees at this point…so off for service it will go. Again, thanks to N6ML and you for the input.

Your welcome. Also, Ray is one of the best. He will take good care of you. He is my guy.

Check the port for lint or anything else with a toothpick. Same thing you would do on a cell phone.

Yep…always have had excellent experience with Ray for purchases and service.

Oh yeah…that was the first thing I did! Compressed air too.

Has anyone had an issue with locating their model number in PPS v3.16.21 drop down list? I want to create another profile but I am not able to locate my model number in the drop down list. I created the first profile in the previous PPS version with no issue. The model number is
G5D67BE-SXVXENBX02UNI

I want to share an experience.

I'm using a Surface Pro7 tablet with the docking station. If I plug the USB cable into the docking station and attempt to upgrade, it gives me a network error at random percentages. If I disconnect from the dock and plug the USB cable directly into the computer, it updates fine.

Check for a firmware update. I think the dock has to be connected to the surface when the check is performed.

I found it easier to create a new profile by reading the pager. Too many nearly-identical options to pick from the dropdown. There's over 50 just for the G5, there needs to be a separate dropdown for picking the base model (G1-G5) then a second that populates only with options applicable to the first choice.

Thank you, Sir. I will. And I did. That was easy!

 

[jgorman21]

Works great! And the Radio Reference Downloads? No problem! Thank you!

I would love to see a tutorial on importing the database. Trial and error is time consuming.

Now that I have upgraded my pager I can not seem to get the message backup software to work. It will say it's finished but it will import 0 when I have 500 messages in it. Any suggestions?

where would I find the Bluetooth setup now?

It still (mostly) works for me. I click "Import" (which always says 0/0/0), then click "Backup", which does the actual copying of the audio files. I then go to the "Message Management" tab, which appears empty until I click "Search".

I think it's always been that way. What's different now is that the To/From TGIDs are not shown correctly, since messages are stored differently by the V1.3x firmware.

 

[N6ML]

where would I find the Bluetooth setup now?

In the "Function Status" menu (yellow circle button), where it's always been.

My entire PPS crashes as soon as I hit the RR import option

same here.

 

[CcSkyEye]

same here.

My PPS crashed tonight while programming several G5 pagers. I wasn't using the RR import, just normal programming. I've never had that happen before, very odd.

I have a perfectly good working G2 using 1.2, does what I need it to do with a few annoyances. I have no need or intention on using the RR import. Are there any helpful revisions in 1.31 that will make this G2 perform better than it is now? It's monitoring one P25 system as a scanner and I don't do anything else with it.

Worth it or nah?

 

[IAmSixNine]

Worth it. adds the TG hold and TG Blok feature. I also feel like my menu is a tad bit snappier.

 

[Prospect62]

Thanks. Is there the ability to go back to 1.2 if I detect disadvantages?
