Title says it all. What are your thoughts & experiences? It can be the Phase 2 out of the box units or those that have been shipped back for the upgrade.
My thoughts:
The flakiness I complained about has largely disappeared. The only nagging issue is the inconsistent volume I get. It's most likely due to the radio on the system and not my pager. I wish there was a way to adjust DAC gain. My issue with channel bleedover has vanished. Very weird. I don't know if it'll come back but it's gone for now.
The only other thing I can think of is that I do a "reset" anytime I take my unit off the charger. I don't know if it helps but it doesn't seem to hurt either.
Durability has been exceptional. A drop on to asphalt from about 6 feet and a day of constant salt water immersion have been shrugged off.
Antenna wise, I've ditched the stubby that came with the unit. The Motorola NAR6595A does a slightly better job with all the foliage that has come back along with trips into areas with taller buildings.
I've got no regrets about the $660 spent and nothing beats being able to clearly receive simulcast traffic while doing 75+ MPH down the freeway or in the rugged foothills of Mt. Rainier. A DMR upgrade would push me towards another G5 but for now, I'll wait and see if the Uniden SDS is the same old crap or something revolutionary.
