A little bit of a learning curve but with all the videos I'm getting the hang of it. Wish UHF and VHF were both available on one device. My most monitored sites are P25 so I'm happy with this G5.
The items received were not what I wanted. So far, I am unable to contact you to request a return authorization and to order the correct items. I tried to send email to Phil@east coast pagers and it bounced back as undeliverable.
Hi Alan. Sorry you are unhappy with the items ordered. I'm not sure why the email address is bouncing. You can open up a return request via your account page at https://account.eastcoastpagers.com .
Shipping was extremely fast and I had it sent to a professional for programming. All in all I got my pager back within 2 days of programming. He said it was very easy to program due to he has all the software for these devices already. Please send it to a professional to get it programmed in your county. Very nice I have noticed the battery doesn’t last too long (around 16 hours) but my county there is someone always talking since we have police, fire, Ems all on it. So I’m sure that’s a normal battery rate for this device. So far so good. Going to send it back off soon to add other channels I want personally in it.
Beyond pleased with pager , Phil with the great customer service to ensure everything was working , and programming was a breeze once had radio reference premium.
Working great with the p25 trunking. Fast shipping and fast response when you have a problem great doing business with east coast pagers.👌😜
Was looking for a yellow G1 and finally found it. I may only use it for 5 uhf freqs but it does what i need it to do. Great reception and battery life as well. Yellow is also my fav color! Thanks
broke my G5 belt clip and found East Coast Pagers. Arrived as promised and it fit perfectly. Thank you!!
Thought it would perform better on the UHF band then it does. It receives UHF signals marginally better than the stock 763-870mhz antenna.
Hi Jason. The external antenna on a G5 pager is only for 700/800. The UHF antenna is internal. If you place a UHF antenna on the external port on the G5 pager, it will NOT improve your UHF coverage. It will only degrade the 700/800. The only way to improve the UHF coverage on the G5 pager is to use an amplified charger and use the charger's BNC port for an auxilary antenna.
I received it pretty quickly after ordering but when I hooked it up to the scanner I wasn't getting any antenna bars. I put the old antenna back on and i was got full bars.
Superb Pager for your scanning needs , especially in the Media & Public Safety Biz.. Highly recommended..
Quality scanner, fast delivery only complaint is I ordered three in three consecutive weeks and on the third they increased the price by $100. Good company. Just bad timing I guess.
I've read about the Unication G series devices for years now. Not seeing the need in addition to other scanners, I never looked more seriously at them. After deciding I needed an option for receiving Fire/EMS dispatch for a nearby county that uses UHF trunking, with a VHF low paging frequency, as well as a simple device for highway travel, I looked back at the G5. This is the tool I've needed and didn't know it! Programming and operation has its own learning curve, as most devices do, but I was really up and running in under an hour for a large area surrounding me. Reception is crystal clear and reliable. Battery life is longer than the day is.
We are very satisfied with the purchase of the pager. It has a very loud volume if needed, and is a great tool to help us monitor the surrounding Fire/EMS calls. Shipping on the unit was exceptionally fast, as we received it in just a couple of days after the order was placed.
This device is built well, rugged and functions great. Shipped fast and on time - Expectations exceeded.
Once you get the hang of programming it this thing is awesome! It handles silmucast perfectly and decrypts with very few hiccups. If you're on the fence about it don't be, this does not disappoint and it's audio clarity is much better than the SDS100.
Great service, and fast shipping as always from East Coast Pagers.
