I have a simple issue ..

On the Fire Tone out I can not get it to cycle through my list I update one channel with a UHF frequency the rest are VHF .... Is this due to the UHF channel ??? Hunterdon County Switched its Fire Departments to UHF not EMS yet ... Any help would be welcome..

Fire Tone Out will listen to only ONE frequency at a time.

However, you can listen for multiple tones on that ONE frequency.

From here:
http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Fire_Tone_Out

Fire-Tone Out Operation allows the scanner to operate in a standby mode and respond to fire tone-outs, a system comprised of standardized two-tone sequential paging, short one-tone paging, and long group tone paging. You can save up to 10 settings. When you select a setting in standby mode, the scanner also monitors for any other setting that uses the same transmit frequency, modulation, and attenuation settings.

and here ...................

Easier to Read BCT15-X Scanner Manual

"All Tone-Outs (channels) that have the same frequency (and modulation and attenuation) as the one you select will also (and only) be monitored so you can monitor up to 10 Tone-Out channels for one frequency. In this case, the scanner displays each Tone-Out channel for two seconds. It does not scan them; Tone-Out monitors the frequency for all Tone-Out channels with the same frequency. Regardless of the current display, the scanner will alert on any received tone out that matches a stored setting (channel) for the frequency. "

Thats what I thought .... Time for a new scanner to go with this one ..... Hunterdon County has yet to my EMS to the UHF channels and not sure if they will ..
