I understand how the fire tone out feature works with a analog system. does it work with a digital system.
I am a volunteer firefighter and my department is on a simulcast p25 system and we don't have pagers or radios. I sometimes will sleep with my pro106 on at night so I know if fires happen. I also have a BCD996XT mounted in my truck. my question, is there a way that the scanner only picks up after a tone out and until you reset. I would like a way to only listen when calls are dispatched and have an option not to hear all the other traffic. 95% of our calls are medical non-fire related calls and sometimes the wife gets aggravated at night with all the radio traffic. I would like to hear the call being dispatched and have an option to continue listening if its a fire related or reset or silence if a medical call and still hear the next call get dispatched out later on. I hope this makes sense. I also just ordered a BCD536HP today. I wanted to replace my pro106 which seems to not put out the audio as well anymore.
