I liked that you mention lockout scanning. On my G5 I mostly set knob-1 in most zones for scanning with 7 channels. The following knobs K-2 to K-8 are individually set for a single channel (thats in knob-1 scan list). Compared side by side with my WS-1088, the G5 wins. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for this video. I bought a Uniden BCD536 and tried to listen to my county's new P25 phase II system and was immensely disappointed! In Central Va. we have rolling hills and small mountains so lots of P25 repeaters and multipath interference. The Uniden misses 75% of transmissions and of the one's it does catch they are so choppy and garbled that they are almost worthless. I'm selling the Uniden and shopping for the Unication G4.
@chuckleskie4 жыл бұрын
I program G5s for a Police Dept. I have a lot of time with them. In my opinion, nothing in the scanner world will match the G5 when it come to P25 simulcast. Those simulcast systems are mostly Police Fire and EMS. That being said, some people like to monitor other stuff. My scanner has the usual police fire EMS stuff but I also have my scanner loaded with Car racing, Marine band, Aircraft, FRS/GMRS/MURS, Ham repeaters, DMR, NXDN and such. If your goal is to just monitor public service on a simulcast system go with the unication. If you want to monitor everything the TRX-1 is the way to go.

My Uniden BCD396XT was behaving the same as your TRX-1 with the local police P25 simulcast system. Even with a yagi 800mhz antenna the Uniden was silent 99% of the time. I received a Unication G4 a few days ago and I'm now able to hear everything on the P25 simulcast. What an awesome radio/pager. Uniden and Whistler better pray Unication never enters the scanner market.

Your problem is not the scanner, all you needed is a multipath propagation antenna. The Whistler is receiving the same signal from several different sources. The signals are received near the same time but a few milliseconds off causing the distortion or total digital decode failure. This is when you see full signal strength but no audio.

A scanner is much better at a few different things as the Unication is more of a dedicated radio. it doesn't scan other frequencies at all so there's that. In this case I wanted it specifically for police, fire, and medical, in my area which is p25 trunking. For that, the Unication blows the other scanners out of the water, it's not even close. But for the other features you mentioned, other than what I want to listen to, yes a scanner would be more practical. To cover all bases, I guess its preferred to just have both :p

Tracy Mcmurtrie yeah the software isn't too hard after you get used to it. There are a few things that have to be set exactly right like the site ID numbers and so forth. Then you need to enter the primary and secondary control channels. Then you can enter your talk groups after the other stuff is in there correctly. It's easier if you plan it out on paper or something first. Figure out how you want the Channels broken down to make it easier to use. It helps if you were on a fire department or something like that. I've used Public Safety radios in this county so I just set mine up the way our PD has them for the most part. Basically I have channel 1 as pretty much a scan everything channel. Channel 2 is just police and fire dispatch since all the major calls go out over those. You have to think of it that way since there's no lock out etc. so if you're scanning everything and something exciting happens on the police side you want to be able to hurry up and switch the knob to police dispatch only so you can lock on that conversation without them stopping talking for a second and then picking up medical or some other traffic. To me it feels more like a police radio than a scanner to be honest. It just doesn't have the talking feature.

When you know that the Icom R30 and AOR AR DV-10 can not decode P25 Phase II signals and can not trunk track. I am sure you are also aware that the AOR AR DV-10 has a serious frequency drift flaw that can only truly be fixed with a new hardware design. This flaw makes trying to monitor digital transmissions very difficult. Many dealers have stopped selling the AOR. For a $1000+ receiver with such a major flaw, it should not be recommended.

Hard to say as it really depends on your specific needs. For general scanning and to find new freqs, mall security, dept store stuff etc then the trx/436 would be your best bet. If you just want to listen to public safety stuff (police, fire, ems) and your area uses a P25 multicast system like ours then the G4/G5 is by far the best bet. It's pretty much an actual police radio minus the talking feature. It picks up that well. The only diff between the G4 and G5 is the extra VHF frequencies. I only needed the public safety so getting the G4 saved a little money.

Sounds good. I'll look up your county ops when I get back tonight. Does your county dispatch all rescue runs and fires over something like fire primary? You could have ch1 all dispatch both fire and ems. Ch2 could be just fire dispatch in case ch 1 gets too chatty w ems calls. Ch 3 maybe fire ops, ch 4 fire admin, ch 5 ems to hospital. Still have one left. Could put scan all pd, fd, and ems on 8. Ch 1 and 8 are easiest to get to since they are the last knob turns. I never got into the fire paging stuff but you can do advanced options if you're a fireman like alert tones recording and things like that. For that you would probably have to talk to either Unication or maybe Ray if you get it from his place he's really good with that stuff too. Unication has really good support also. I called them a couple times and they answered my questions really quickly.

In simulcast a better antenna makes it worse, less is more. Even using a paperclip will improve reception in simulcast.

OK then we'll I have the p25 and the phase I believe is what my county is on right now and also I have the what I believe is the talk group channel aswell now u said to get the I'd? now that would come up on the scanner correct? like when we get a call from county dispatch I mean I've been looking on the internet for many different things like our pager tone alerts for my county and it's saying that for my county it's the frequency that it's also the tone alert so IDK would that be my fire dept. tone? IDK I just need some help lol ya know u seem very nice guy and also very helpful aswell so I just wish we could meet up sometime and maybe help me out I'm not too good with technology lol if u wouldn't mind that is and also I really do appreciate ur help aswell I would pay u to help me if ur interested that is

Is that a PTT on the G4? Is it a transceiver also?

golf-n-guns looks like one but just buttons for other things. It's a receiver only.

OK, thanks. I posted that question before I got to the part of your video where you said "it's not a transceiver". Wishful thinking on my part! The Unication is a bit pricey, but seems solid! Definitely on my shopping list. I'll wait for phase 2, like the others...while I check out your other videos! Thanks.

You will need these numbers (System ID 796) & (WACN 92493) also. According to radioreference.com Your primary and alternate control channels are: 853.6375c is primary, 853.450a is alternate. You'll need to enter them both. Not sure what the letters are for I didn't enter any letters in mine. Your talkgroups (St Clair) right under mine (Saginaw) near the bottom of this page: www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=100 How you break the channels down really depends on what you want to hear. More police or fire or medical etc. The breaking them down on separate channels on the knob selector is say you hear something exciting from police like a chase or something like that and you want to hear and follow what happens. If all your channels are mixed and they stop talking for a few then you might pick up a long conversation from an ambulance to hospital patient report or something and miss what you wanted to hear. So what you want to hear is an important planning step. Also keep in mind that (in our area anyway) all calls go out over primary dispatch channels for PD and Fire. I keep dispatch separate from Admin channels. That way I hear where fire's are and rescue calls but I don't get the Ops channels when they are working the fire as that info is important to them but not so meaningful to me as I already know they are there and working on the fire. I broke mine down as follows: ch1: Scan all 3 PD, Fire & EMS to hospital. ch2: Dispatch only for both Police and Fire. ch3: Police dispatch only. ch4: Police LEIN. Used to run people for warrants, driving records etc. ch5: Police PTAC. Used for situations between officers at a scene and events. ch6: Police ADMIN. Usually officers talking to their headquarters. ch7: Fire OPS (may change this as it's more meaningful to them working the fire, not so much to hear) ch8: EMS to hospital. I then usually scan on ch1 unless there are lots of EMS to hospital (somedays there are) then I may switch to ch2 for the majority of regular calls. I get both Police, Fires and Rescue calls this way. Then I follow stuff by simply changing the channel knob. So for example if i'm on ch2 and I hear something like "units we have a rollover accident at xx intersection..... I hear the PD call on ch2 quickly followed by the Fire rescue dispatched. I hear when they arrive and the basic traffic about the accident. If I want to follow how the patients are doing I may switch to ch8 and try to catch the EMS to hospital traffic. I usually don't scan PTAC and ADMIN channels unless I hear someone request to go to one of those channels since you might miss important dispatched calls if your monitoring too much at a time. Also I'm setup for County stuff. I don't live in the City but I have City stuff setup on zone 2. You basically can setup all your stuff in what they call a 'Zone', all the knob channels etc. Then you can setup other zones with different channels. Keep in mind switching channels (knob positions) is pretty quick and simple, switching Zones requires a few button pushes but it's not too bad. I have City on zone 2, State PD stuff on zone 3 along with DNR, etc.

NO, you can on the ICOM IC-R30A and the AOR DV-10 they both have MANUAL RF Gain. the Squelch is separate.

oh OK then cool man ty for all of that info Yea I tried looking up some stuff and I didn't mind much like # that u just did I didn't know how to look them up but anyway now I just really want like the ops channels for my dept. and the tones and really just want like fire and ems sometimes maybe a little police but mostly fire and rescue now what I would like to do is set up my monitor to like ch1 to be like urs scan everything like mostly fire and have ch2 to be ems or how ever I can do it I'm not too fussy and maybe if it's possible have selective call like for my dept. u know but if not that's fine but I would to have a fire channel like what u have but whatever I can get u know lol OK then what do u think I should do like just the #s u gave do I just give the person what u gave me to program my monitor and it will work or do I need more info? cuz I have some stuff written down but what u gave would probably be better

The default antenna is a joke. Toss it, if your getting that much front in overload turn on the autenuator to turn the front in sensitivity down. That's your problem plus buy a real antenna.

@ComputerProMedia7 жыл бұрын
lol. Those are the talkgroup's. So the top one 2694 looks like that's main fire dispatch. I'm guessing that all fire calls are dispatched over it. Once you enter the numbers we mentioned before then you have to enter the individual talkgroup ID's. So for EMS main dispatch looks like its 2695. Those are the numbers you would enter. I'd keep the Alpha tags the same, easier like that. So 74F911 looks like 911 for F (fire). You can use different names but I found it's easier to follow and edit things if the Alpha tags are left the same. You will learn them in no time after you hear calls a few times.

Not really to be honest. The 2 inch stubby antenna on the G4 works so amazingly awesome that I just use that scanner now for all my P25 trunked stuff. It's not really a scanner, it's more of an actual public safety radio without the transmit feature. I think that's why it works so much better then regular scanners do. If I needed to pick up other (non P25) traffic, then i'd opt for a regular scanner.
