• 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.

I like to listen to the G5 in private. In fact my wife prefers it. Especially close to bed time.
I have a cheap Bluetooth receiver/transmitter with a set of ear buds hooked into it. It connects and receives easily, but to be honest what I am listening to sounds bad. The speaker on the G5 sounds much better.

My question.....Like I said I know I am using a cheap little contraption to use the Bluetooth option. Does anyone out there have a recommendation for a better sounding device that actually works with the G5? I don't want this to be a trial and error thing with different devices. That can get expensive. Or do the more expensive options still sound how should I say......terrible?

goodmore - Bluetooth in inherently Low Fidelity. so is Noise Cancelation. the Real solution is to use Large CUP style headphones and not Earbuds. better for your ears. and offers a wider Frequency response range. other than that , try using Large cup style earphones with Bluetooth.

I agree that your earbuds are the more likely problem with your low fidelity, not the BT receiver/transmitter.

I apologize in advance if I am overlooking it (I'm sure I am) but after some searching I am not readily seeing discussion of the Unication-branded bluetooth headset found at places like Unication T81G1DHQ65P-R Bluetooth Headset - G-Series. Has anyone here tried this one?

I haven't but I can say as a beta tester, I no longer hear any beeps. Not sure if it is the beta firmware I'm using or if it is a newer G5 (not beta related) that got rid of the beep.

The BlueTooth implementation in the V1.20 firmware (currently in beta) is significantly different, and does eliminate the beeps on several devices that I've tried it with.

Any word on when this beta firmware will be released to the public? If so, I'll probably bite the bullet and buy one if they fixed the Bluetooth issue.

I keep hearing "real soon now"... I think it's a case of "as soon as it's ready".

Be sure to turn off blue tooth before you go to sleep. 8 hours of 2.4Ghz exposure to RF that close to your body doesn't bode well in terms of biological effects. Yes, it's documented...

So exposure during an 8 hour shift during the day on your hip is fine but 8 hours at night sitting on a headboard isn't???
