Hello, I’m wondering if anyone has the tone outs I need for the New Boston NH Fire Department? On the wiki there’s only the tone outs from the old fire frequency “154.160” but the new frequency is “153.860”. Trying to get my bcd325p2 setup to act like a pager with the tone out mode. Thanks
Can’t find “tone out” A and B for New Boston Fire Department.

If nobody has them, you can find them yourself by setting the scanner to
Fire Tone Out which will capture the tones when they tone out.
Good luck.
Not sure how your dept. is run but many depts up here have a few A B tones. One for medical, one for working fires, one for general alarms etc.

just a thought, but if this is/was only a freq change, then they likely use the same tones.

usually 153.86 is used for fireground...
have you heard the tones on that frequency ?
have you heard the tones on that frequency ?
He is talking about A B tones for the FTO feature, not pl tones.

yes ecps92, i would hate to think he is trying to get tones off of a 2 watt handheld in someone's basement during a fire.

Yes tough, but when this is a 50watt/100watt erp Repeater
not so toughfor the OP and others in the area, it would be nice to get the PL/DPL for the up/down links on 453.8125/456.8125

i have not used this, it is just for the idea of finding a frequency.
this would be for a phone.
like i said it is just to get the ball rolling,
you might find one for a computer.
even if you just get one tone, use it again for the next one.

The ones around me have 1 for each individual unit and then the dispatch just decides what to send for what.

I put them in the scanner earlier today but haven't heard anything yet. I'm probably too far away to be able to hear them.
Did you try the Fire Tone-Out feature that doctordialtone linked to? You should be able to park your scanner on their dispatch frequency and use that feature to let the scanner find them. It seems like you're probably going to have to find them yourself given that no one's chimed in with them.
Would the error cancel if the same scanner was being used for alerting? E.g., my local firehouse (not New Boston) is toned out with 903.2, 1282.8 Hz. But if I used tone search and it said, e.g., 902.7, 1283.5, I would expect that telling the same scanner to alert me for those tones would work.
I use the Radio ID app (for iOS), which also has an Android version. It does cost $0.99 so it's not free, but it also decodes MDC1200 and FleetSync. (And GE Star, apparently, if you find someone using it.) For better or worse, this app maps tones to the closest valid QC2 tone. That'll really mess you up if they're using Plectron or non-standard codes, but none of the stuff I monitor does.

Wow same here, actually just as I was testing it the scanner toned out across the room and it got it spot on. Man all these years wasted trying to average out tones on my uniden scanners and this gets it bang on the first time. Anyone know a link to one of those already completed wiki articles for all the tones in a County so I can use as an example make one for my own as well?
Maybe someone already said it but there is this, it has New Boston on it.

See Post#1 where he references the OLD (154.1600) FrequencyMaybe someone already said it but there is this, it has New Boston on it.
