Hi. Does anyone have the actual Chicago fire dept, NOT the tv show, station paging tones for custom alert for my Unication and Minitor 6 pagers?

CFD doesn't dispatch over the air to the firehouses. Fiber optic cables run to each firehouse and the runs are received over the Alarm Terminals.

He found it he said :)
I guess I misunderstood the thread. When someone posts they're looking for "tones", it leads me to believe they're trying to find the A-B type tones used for fire tone outs which can be monitored. Apparently, this is something to do with audio clips so someone can pretend they're in the firehouse :unsure:

Before this thread is revived down the road, no you can't monitor CFD firehouse dispatches via the scanner or Unication pagers since they don't send these out over he airwaves.

Not what im looking for. An audio clip of the tones to make into a .wav file for custom audio. I know you cant hear them over a pager/scanner
