XTS2500 Transmit Tones

[alphagamma]

Hi Everyone,

I remember reading on here somewhere that it was possible to transmit quik call tones from the XTS 2500. I cannot find that thread for the life of me. If someone could explain how to set it up in cps or could point me to the proper thread that would be a huge help.

Thanks

I believe with the XTS2500. The radio would have to have that QCII in the flashcode, if its not then it has to be added. And they way to do that is having someone with the proper software and hardware upgrade it for you. What is the flashcode of your 2500?

It's not a flash option. QCII is available in firmware versions above R09.00.00

OP, I can post a detailed answer once I get to my programming computer after work, as my step-by-step details are a bit fuzzy now.

Thanks very much. We have been having some issues with the town repeater so it will be awesome to be able to send tones from the field.

I'm sorry for posting wrong info. I'm glad you cleared that up!

1) Define a "conventional personality" for the channel on which you want to send QC tones.

2) Under "Signalling," select QCII and point to a defined QC "system."

3) Under "QC II," enable either (or both) of SC transmit and CA transmit.

4) Define a QC Call List with the alphas and tones of the units you might want to call.

5) As appropriate, define either a "Call" (SelCal) or "Page" (CA) menu function.

Assuming you get it all correct, when selected on the QC channel, the "Call" and/or "Page" menu items will be available. Select the one you want. You'll get a list of members (by alpha). Scroll to the person you want to call or page and press PTT.

On a single member call or page, your radio will send the tones.

As appropriate, be sure to define a "member" for group calls.
