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
