Dose anyone have a way of converting manual pager into tones for in a minitor? Im talking like the 4 digit tones that would be put into the back up base station and sent out.

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Perhaps you could explain how you plan to generate these tones a bit more. Is there an encoder built into the "backup base station?" Or attached to it?
What radio is this "back up base station?"
What do you mean by 4 digit tones?
If you are not very familiar with tone signaling, perhaps you could study this page and learn some of the lingo and how these tone systems work: Two-tone Paging
There is a 4 digit code that goes into a zetron keypad attached to a XTL 2500 radio, this sends out a tone on the selected freq activating the pagers.
That's more than a little helpful. IIRC, depending on the exact model of the Zetron encoder, the four digit code that you enter is converted to a tone pair and it's not the same everywhere. You have to know how the Zetron at your dispatch is programmed to know the tone pair. Once you know the tone pair, you can set up your minitor to decode those tones.
For example, we had a very large Zetron in our dispatch center. The radio guys would program a four digit code to be whatever tones were needed for a specific department. So what tones were generated by our Zetron for any given 4 digit code was unique to our center.
You need to talk to someone knowledgeable at your dispatch to get the tone info.
How you are going to get the backup base to generate the tones is a different issue, or does it already have an encoder, too?
