Alert tones for I-calls

[SCPD]

Hi all,
I am wondering if anybody knows if it is possible to set alert tones for I-calls like you can for talk groups and frequencies?

I have my 396T programmed on the TMRS EDACS system with alert tones set to tone 7 and level 5 on some talk groups so that when they become active I am alerted., by doing this I can have the 396T sitting with the volume on 0 so I don’t hear anything until the alert tone at level 5 comes on and I then turn it up, would it be possible to do the same with I-calls?

Dont know if it works but try to program in a i-call wild card 700000 then set an alert for that

try it and see if it works

 

[SCPD]

Thanks, I will try that.

As someone who gets quite a few "help me" PMs, I can say that just about any PM that you send with a question would likely be better to be posted so others who might know more about the particular problem can give the best answer. Plus the answer would be visable to others who do a search or see the thread in question.


Plus some of us do not clean out our PM box as often as we should and it gets full

Oh, the ability to load a small MP3 and have that be played when you get the particular "match" you are looking for would be cool


Minitor V tones coming out of a scanner? My phone can have them, why not a scanner? (don't worry Paul, that can be for a future-future scanner).

hey no problem there Grog (love your username BTW, very cool ). Mabey you can help, shorty verson, i want to program i-calls on my `396T, can i set them up just as i would a streight TGID? There is a LTR system here in WI that i monitor from time to time when i`m in that area of the state, and they use i-calls. Also, if i program a i-call wildcard, how do i enter the number (what format), is it something like, say 1 followed by zeros (i.e. 10000)? Thanks! N9NRA

 

[Grog]

No firm clue since I don't use a uniden, I just like to keep up on what is happening on the dark side of scanner land

 

[UPMan]

I'm not aware of LTR supporting i-calls (at least, scanners that support i-calls only do so for MOT, P25, and EDACS systems...).

 

[torontokris]

I had replied (basically what Paul said)

I-calls are only on Motorola or EDACS systems (that includes P25)

I didnt know it was on LTR.
And gave this link to help program in for him in case he has another system that is Mot/Edacs

[N9NRA]

Got your pm, and it was very much helpful, also, i goofed on the message anyway, sorry about that, it`s an EDacs SYSTEM, so i found what i needed via the links ya geve me. Thanx! N9NRA

 

[torontokris]

Your welcome...


I'll Just put it here in case anyone else needs the info..

Enter it like a new TalkGroup...

To enter a EDACS I-Call ID, press (.)no once then enter the ID and press E/yes.
To enter a EDACS wildcard (receive any) I-Call ID, press (.)no once then enter 0 and press E/yes.

youll probably want wildcard as you dont know the exact wildcard number
