PL Not Working

[mfred]

Purchased several G5's for our FD to test out. I have several area 400mhz conventional frequency's programmed and have a scan channel set up. My problem is I have tried numerous settings but the PL or CTCSS doesn't seem to work. I pick up everything on the frequency and not just the agency I want. Clearly I dont have the channel setup correctly. Any help is appreciated.

Also, is nuisance delete coming soon?

Im running firmware 1.31

nuisance delete has been on when using trunking. I have not tried it on an analog scan.
Are you sure you have the proper PL for who it is you are listening for?

I have verified the PL for all the agency's i have programmed in. Getting outside agency's as well. There must be a setting Im not configuring correctly.

The screenshot you have is selective call. You should not be hearing anything on that position unless tones go out.

Your PL code is correct for Dumount



You said Scan list in your post. Are you hearing anyone else on 477.375 besides Dumount? According to the RRDB, 477.375 is only licensed to Dumount FD in NJ.

If you are setting up a conventional scan group, you want to make sure this option is enabled: CT/CDCSS OPTION:

old school was to strip PL from tone alerting, maybe this is the case here?

It appears that Selective Call is effectively the same as Monitor Mode when the protocol is CSQ.

CT/CDCSS Option for the scan knob position is likely the ticket.

If you really want selective call the protocol type needs to be 2 tone
than a box with protocol alias will appear than select what type of alias,
mine is set to Motorola which is setup in D 3

Or you need to change the receiving mode to monitor mode than the
CSQ will work

Somehow I missed the 'CT/CDCSS Option:' because my setting was set to 'Disable'.
I set it to 'Match CT/CDCSS and haven't heard a peep of any outside agencies.
Thanks for the info!
Last question, is there a nuisance delete option yet?

Also, I know I posted a picture of Dumont FD, but the outside agency's I was hearing were on the Paramus PD & FD dispatch channels. Just getting Paramus now that I made the change to the CT/CDCSS option.
