Welcome to the Unication voice pager wiki page. Please see the official Unication P25 Voice Pager page for models and specifications.
Unication has developed a couple models of receive only P25 capable public safety pagers. These pager/receivers are intended for public safety users and therefore have an I/Q demodulator and narrower filters for band specific needs. They work generally without any "tweaks" that may be needed for a scanner.
These units are capable of both Phase 1 and Phase 2.
These units are commercial grade receivers designed for public safety users, not scanners. They are designed to monitor a single site at a time, and possibly a conventional VHF or UHF Dispatch channel.
Pros and Cons
