Can Kenwood NX-3200 transmit Tones to Activate Pagers/Signalling

[jaytoddmartin]

Our department operates in a rural community. From time to time, our dispatching system encounters problems. I am curious if the nx-3200 has the ability to "drop tones" to our department to activate our pagers, radio signalling options, etc. Ideally, a few officers would have this ability programmed into their radios. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Every other kenwood I have can do it so I'm fairly certain the NX-3200 will encode 2 tone. Should be under your 2 tone settings to set up all your pairs, then set up a menu option, keybind to go to the menu option, or a button that activates a certain set of tones.

Yes, they can be programmed to do 2 tone encoding.

Thank you both very much. Our dispatch center got flooded during a "plumbing upgrade" and our VHF is offline at the dispatch center. Thankfully now we can use our radios to activate the pagers once dispatch phones us with the call details. It's not very efficient but it works for now. (Unfortunately our county's dispatch center can't reach the local fire dept repeater using a handheld from inside the facility)

Yikes.

i've dealt with a home flooding, and I've dealt with dispatch centers, but never the two combined. Hope to make it to retirement without having to deal with that.
