Unication Voice Pager Receivers
From The RadioReference Wiki
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

- Two-tone paging (conventional or [some] P25)
- Nice display
- Nice size/weight

Con
- No "on the fly" programming

- 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 9600, etc.)
