There is a 2 small fire departments here in Oklahoma that have switched to DMR in the last few weeks... is there anyway to still use two tone or QCII as Motorola calls it..? maybe hooking a base mobile to a tone encoder..? any ideals....

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.
Mototrbo Two Tone paging

They would have to switch to analog mode for paging.
Nobody makes DMR pagers that I know of.
I don't think the DMR vocoder was designed to work with paging tones. It might have been designed to work with DTMF.

not using it for pagers just for the noise to alert ...
The "DMR vocoder" is actually the DVSI AMBE+2 vocoder, same as used for P25 Phase II. It is most certainly designed to work with standard QCII tones, not just DTMF. QCII alerting over P25 (FDMA and TDMA, conventional and analog) works great with APX subscribers as well as (so I'm told) Unication G4/G5 pagers.
We've got quite a few departments using two tone paging over DMR.
