Revision as of 16:59, 20 March 2021

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

Pro

  • Excellent P25 Simulcast reception
  • Two-tone paging (conventional or [some] P25)
  • Nice display
  • Nice size/weight
  • Battery lasts a long time

Con

  • No "on the fly" programming
  • No option to mute encryption- However there is Beta firmware (1.2) that has the option to mute encryption
  • No SKIP / lockout
  • No real ability to tell the radio to "move along, I don't care about this talkgroup"
  • Can only monitor a single control channel at a time (no multi-site or multiple system scanning)
  • Cannot mix scanning of P25 control channel and conventional frequencies.
  • G4 is only 700/800
  • G5 adds a band but you have to choose which one (VHF, 380, 400, 450) conventional analog or P25 and/or P25 Phase 1 only (no Motorola, EDACS, LTR, DMR, NXDN, etc.)
  • Can't assign alpha tags to radio IDs
  • Programming software (PPS) design isn't intuitive
