Quick call II interrupting dispatcher

[JackRoberts23]

Hey all, my fire dept uses QCII for paging and I have a 1250 model radio. I can program the channels to alert for just what I want, but the alert tone will keep on alerting over the dispatcher. Anyone know how I can fix this?

Do you have "call alert w/ voice override" chosen? Do you have continuous alerting set? alert auto/reset?

I can't remember exactly what the wording two on the last was, but there is you want it to alert once, be overriden by the voice being transmitted, and to auto/reset when done. If you need more specifics, I can fire up the VM and find an old codeplug for a HT1250LS+ that has alerting on it for you and get you screenshots.

I have call alert w/ voice override chosen. I have alert tone auto reset unchecked. I'm not sure where to check for continuous alerting

 

[a417]

I have alert tone auto reset unchecked.

re-check it.

[JackRoberts23]

your alert tone isn't auto-resetting because you don't have auto reset checked. If you check that, it'll alert once and reset

Well, a new problem has arose. I have a dpl code set and I'm still hearing transmissions from other areas using different dpl codes. It's like I'm using CSQ. Any ideas what the problem is?

Frequency I want: 453.6875 DPL 565 (Nassau County Fire 3rd Battalion Ops 1 in New York)
Frequency I hear along with mine: 453.6875 DPL 654 (Belmar EMS dispatch in New Jersey)

do you have your signaling squelch set to AND?

 

[JackRoberts23]

There is no MDC system set for it. Just the DPL code

 

[nhfdcadet]

do you not have the QCII system set?

 

[JackRoberts23]

This problem is with our operation frequency. There is no need for a QCII system

You will need to have the Muting set correctly for the operational channel you have programmed.

 

[JackRoberts23]

There is no MDC or QCII system set so how can I have the muting set?

Without making himself clear I think he's referring to a completely different channel. I vote for HUB Defeats PL is checked.

Ah, good catch.

unless this is a totally different radio, that option is grayed out in an HT1250

He referred to a "1250" model radio, I was the one who mentioned the HT as opposed to the CDM.

As I replied to Ramal121, if he's still talking about the ht1250, hook defeats PL isn't the problem. But for all I know he could be talking about a different radio entirely, op hasn't been exactly forthcoming with info on the problem

 

[ramal121]

Fair enough. My assumption went to a mobile radio. If this is indeed a HT, how about the radio is in scan with PL disabled during scan?
