Before I start, If what you read below was/is already discussed in some way, please let me know so I don't duplicate post(s)! Thanks in advance!
My dealer is letting my demo a G5 for my area, he has also let me do my own programming to the unit (With his permission) I just recently did the PPS and Firmware update. It didn't seem like much of a difference at first, although, as many have stated, there is a few "Under The Hood" fixes. As time went on, I noticed some issues, which I will explain below a bit better. I'm not trying to complain, I know its a constant work in progress, just checking to see if others are experiencing the same issues!
Unit/County/System Info:The G5 unit I'm demoing is UHF- 7/800 (Using Fully UHF, my county system is UHF Analog 2 - Tone Dispatch and 5 UHF P25 Conventional Repeater"OPS" Channels)
1) Is the FFFF Wildcard still need? I was a little confused on how that was worded on the release notes.
2) I did have the "No audio unless squelch is pressed issue, but as stated, setting that to "Tone" has fixed that.
3) I have a Knob Switch Announcement Issue. On power up, the units will say "Selective Call" which is correct, however, when I switch to Knob 2, also a SC, it does not announce that. (I have check the setting, all reading normal)
4) I have a "Priority Scan" and "Normal Scan" List of my Counties P25 Repeater "OPS" Channels, Aliased "OPS 2", "OPS 3" and so on. I've noticed that when a radio keys up, the ID's are sometimes all over the place. Example: My Fire Dept.'s Engine, "Engine 52" has a radio ID of "5201" But on some key ups, I get a random set of ID numbers, when I know the Engine is talking. Its not just that single ID either, I know what the proper ID's of the radios talking should read out, and at times its not even close!
If anyone else is having these issues, please post!
Any help/tips are greatly appreciated!
Thank You!
