Unication Voice Pager Receivers

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. However, these pager/receivers are lacking several basic features found in most scanners. A beta of a scanning feature is in the testing phase.

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 trunked site at a time or a small set of conventional VHF / UHF frequencies.

Comparison to a Digital Scanner

Similarities

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

Differences

• No "on the fly" programming
• 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&2 Trunking. DMR Conventional (Paid upgrade)
• Doesn't support Motorola Smartnet/SmartZone Analog, EDACS, LTR, NXDN, DMR Trunking
• Programming software (PPS) design isn't intuitive
