Decoding pager tones

[WillB]

What is the best way to find or decide pager tones? I'd like to find the ones for my dept and program them in my radio. There isn't any info that can be found at my station.

If you have a Uniden scanner, you may be able to use that to find the tones you need. There are some other more challenging methods that I've used in the past....

What radio do you have?

In the past I recorded the audio and then processed the audio through a program called Audcacity. There are online tutorials that show how to do this. I don't have the links handy.

Radio is a Kenwood 2180. I do have a 996XT at home as well.

Smart phone app called Radio ID written specifically to decode and identify pager tones.

Note: I've found that the tones found and used by the Unidens are not necessarily "exact" - they just need to be within a small "range". Not sure how exact the Kenwood will want them to be....

Check the RR wiki for the county, someone may have already the hard part.

Did this and there isn't anything for our county.

Did you have any luck trying the 996 capture capability?

I was able to find them. Thanks everyone.
