Quick Call on MTS 2000

[n4dog]

I am wondering can a MTS 2000 have a quick call channel setup on it. When I was at another Fire Dept, we had HT1000 that Ch. 16 was set up like a pager. I am on 800mhz system, in Tallahassee. We now have to carry pagers and a radio. Thanks for any help. I hope I have explained it correctly.

The short answer is: Maybe. I know it can be done. However, a lot of signalling options in the MTSX series are dependant on either firmware or Flashcode.

The easiest way is to read your radios and see if you can access the appropriate fields. You could also post your flashcode.

Quickcall is not an option for an 800 trunked system. You can send out tones, but currently, there is nothing on the market to decode tones on this type of system

That is true. I dont know about this particular system but I know of several that send tones on a convcentional channel or simulcast their paging talkgroup for just such a reason.

the system is a Motorola Type II Smartnet. They send out tones all the time for every station that is dispatched. They tone out us the Vol. Departments and it crossband repeatered to 154.190, to page the Vol. I was just wondering if it was possible. I get tired of carrying a pager and a radio.
Also what types of Portables or Mobile radios can I buy to use on a Smartnet Type II system. We use the MTS and MCS 2000 now. Just wondering.

Thanks,
