Icom F50V 2 tone decode problem, please help.!!

[XTS3000_AES]

I have recently purchased 2 Icom F50v VHF radios with Minitor Mode firmware in them.

These are the vibrate/stored voice models.

I cannot seem to get them to decode a 2tone frequency.

All I need them to decode is standard motorola tone of 483.5 (all call). I believe it is standard 7 second

I have programmed these like I have done all of the other icoms in the past, and they wont alert for any reason.

Does someone maybe have a check list of what needs to be enabled or disabled, or what needs to be set for these to work correctly, or possibly a screen shot of what I need to do?

I need these up and running very soon, so any help would be appreciated.

Step 1 - make sure the channel is set up to receive the 2 Tone, this is under the memory channel - 2 Tone - RX C. Number, it should be set to receive the corresponding 2 Tone as programmed in 2 Tone Ch Code.

Step 2 - Make sure the right 2 Tone freq is set up to detect in 2 Tone - Code Ch - if you want it to trigger as a Group then program which tone to trigger as a Group Call

Step 3 - In the RXCode Setting, make sure Tone Code comparison is ON/Off accordingly - look for CTCSS or not. And if you want it to trigger as a group - make sure the Group Setting timer is set accordingly - how long does the tone have to be in order to be declared a Group Call.

If you need any additional help past this, I'll ask that you post or send me you .icf file so that I can see your exact setup.

If you haven't noticed already, this radio is a great replacement for the Minitor V pagers as it does all the same functions in addition to being a full fledged radio...

Good luck!
