XTS2500 Quick Call Paging

[Lakes_Region_Comms]

Hi Everybody! I have a xts-2500 that I would like to set up for QC-II Paging, I have set everything (I believe) properly, and it still won't kick the radio to alert or unmute. Any input is greatly appreciated! Thank You In Advance!

Well what do you have set up?

Well what do you have set up?

Personality 161, Signalling QC-II, Unmute set to AND, call alert decode selected, Quick-Call II systems tab 1 Tone A 2361.7 Tone B 701.3. That info is remembered of the top of my head as I don't have my programming laptop in front me.
The radio will not alert for the tones, or even unmute, I'm sure its my error somewhere. Do I need to disable FPP for the zone?

Astro25 were always touchy when it came to decoding 2-tone. Make sure the channel deviation is set properly to narrowband, and the radio could possibly need alignment as well.

The XTS with QCII was weird, and even more weird with FPP throw into the mix, IIRC. Post screenshots of your current programming, to help remind those of us what the CPS looks like after 15 years. Flash-code, as well

The FPP (for some) seemed to be an unneccessary PITA, and ended up getting removed from most users. There were things like it had to be the last zone, it would delete zones after it if you toggled the flag, and more...(and for some silly reason, it's sticking in my mind that the FPP zone had trouble with signalling. I have no idea why that idea is there, but it is...)

Don't steal my serial number please!

Any chance the channel is set up as mixed-mode receive? I seem to recall that QCII will only work on analog channels.

Nope, 100% analog, and narrow band

Astro 25 radios require very tight tolerances for the paging tones to work. If the dispatch is overmodulation or slightly off will prevent the radio from alerting.

I agree. One county works fine, another doesn’t.
