You would need the Unication G5 model for VHF/700/800. There are separate models for VHF/700/800 OR UHF/700/800 (Cannot do both VHF and UHF in the same pager). It will scan only one system and one site at a time. It cannot scan conventional frequencies and a trunked system at the same time. Also, it cannot receive Motorola Type II trunked systems. They are excellent at decoding P25 Phase 1 and Phase 2 trunked systems with simulcast sites. Which agencies do you wish to monitor?

Should have mentioned that will need to be able to do p25 phase 1 and 2 my county operates on p25 conventional and the county above does p25 phase 2 trunked
The G5 pager will do P25 Phase 1 and Phase 2 and VHF, but it cannot scan a trunked system and conventional frequencies at the same time.

Nor can it scan two systems at once.

Is simulcast in play for anything you're interested in listening to? If yes this narrows the list down to the Uniden SDS100, SDS200 or Unication G5.

Anyone can help I have the new G5 pps ver V0.4.0.39 and I’m looking for the Radio reference site inside the software I’ve seen it up on the top of the screen, but it disappears. Anybody could help appreciate it. Thank you.

Also really loud speaker for such a small size. I mostly monitored analog with it when I first got it because a regular scanner can be difficult to hear outside but also is slightly chunky so I wanted something that could be stuffed on my internal coat pocket. It's nice being able to make out the audio still when I'm standing next to a highway without having to wear racing muff headphones.

Have you built your profile yet? The PPS will guide you (by the numbers). Once you get to a point where you can add trunked systems or conventional frequencies, the Radio Reference Import box will appear.
