Are they testing for tone out over P25 trunking? You know, the thing the unication pagers are actually designed for...instead of as stand ins for expensive scanners that can't scan well.
FYI,
TG 4701 is a new TG, active today.
Sounds like a 33.90 Dispatch on the South Simulcast.
Just like what is discussed in the recent posts..
Don't know if it's available on other Sites or is Zone dependent.
dispatch 716, 717, 719, 720 RID's observed.
Confirmed with EMA and 2 Dispatchers, it will currently simulcast 33.9000 and in the future will be p25 paging and alert dispatch.

All he said was simulcast of voice from 33.9000 and future p25 paging..Any idea if they will use the same tones or change them off the old plectron tone frequencies?

I personally can not see Lancaster using p25 paging. Alphanumeric is the better, and cheaper way to go..

Ok Thanks not really what I was asking but ok.P25 trunking paging tones are DIFFERENT from the analog tones..If you program the analog 33.90 tones, they will not activate.. Wait for Lancaster to release the new P25 tone sets and your G series pagers will activate just fine..
Agreed,honestly. LCWC seems to be having that very issue, too. As a good number of the tones across the new TG are overly distorted(Not to mention a HUGE volume discrepancy between tone and voice), to the point I've removed that TG from the scan list entirely.What most people don't understand is that paging tones need to have the level set very carefully. What many radio techs don't understand is the page tones can not be sent when the audio levels are in compression. This distorts the tones and makes trying to decode them very difficult. When the audio level of the tones is set correctly, the signal can almost be down into the noise and it will still be able to be decoded.
Trying to find a radio tech today that has much background with tone pagers is getting hard. The younger techs have not been educated in how to set the levels. The same thing sort of happens when setting the audio throughput of repeaters. If the level is set too high, all you end up doing is to bring up the background noise. If your local audio on a repeater is having the background road or engine noise come through the repeater, it probably is set with the pass through audio being too high. This in tern will kill the ability to pass paging tones through the repeater and have the tones be decoded.
This is not a simple thing to do. It generally takes 2 people to set up for and adjust the audio levels at both the dispatch consoles and then repeaters. With everything going to narrow banding several years back, the audio levels have become even more important.
If your radio system is having problems decoding paging tones, I would start by looking at the basic audio levels and throughput of the repeaters.
