Baltimore County two-tone over P25?

[firebal]

Central-East-West for standard runs. Tac 1-2, 2-2, 3-2 (South) for tactical incidents (fires, rescues, hazmat.) Additionally, Tac 4-2, 5-2, & 6-2 for additional incidents within the battalion. Example, a central firebox would be on 1-2 but if an additional central box would to drop, it would operate on 4-2.

INCORRECT.
1-2 and 6-2 are central
2-2 and 5-2 are west
3-2 and 4-2 are east

I have mine set up as
Central Tacs - includes T12, T62, T11, T13, etc.
West Tacs - includes T22, T52, T21, T23, etcc
East Tacs - you get the picture

I then just use the block and lock features to listen to a specific talkgroup if I want.

If you really get into the pre- and post- behavior, you could even tell the pager to switch scan lists based on which tone decoded. For example, west battalion tone decodes, scan Tac22. The possibilities are endless. This is def good stuff. And I was impressed at how loud and robust the alert tones are.

And don't forget the multi-alarm tones. If they're still used, they are sent for working fire dispatch and greater alarms. Not sure if they've been phased out tho. Haven't religiously listened to BCo in years.

They are still used. Both are hit as a sort of backup. If you wanna know about a big fire, put it in your Unication.
