The Unication “G4” receiver: Better digital decode on simulcast systems! Scanner listeners have long been concerned with what we call “Simulcast Distortion”. When listening to a digital trunked radio system that uses multiple simulcast sites the scanner loses audio. Sometimes it is only an occasional nuisance but sometimes it is worse. There now is a solution if this is a serious issue for you. The Unication G4 is a 700/800 MHz single band receiver designed specifically for the most popular trunking band used across the USA and Canada. The Unication G4 and it’s related radios originally were designed as pagers that can be used on digital or analog, trunked or conventional systems. Since many agencies rely on alerting personnel to respond but don’t want to burden them with a large 2-way radio or pay the high cost to do so Unication came up with a device to handle that. In a package roughly the same size as common “fire pagers” like the Minitor series, the Unication allows the same paging methods but on digital or trunked systems. There are other technical reasons why paging is difficult on digital systems.
