Baofeng DM-32 Paging

I just got my DM-32 and was setting up the 2tone and there are three options for decode alerts and I'm hoping for some insight on what each one does

These are just my opinions, but I would expect a Call Alert to be a tone/beep alert only, and a Voice Call Alert to be a tone/beep, followed by a time window for the voice message.
It would be interesting to know if you can get these to work.

I just went through this on my DM-32 too from Kasuo for my latest project, and here’s what I figured out. Spend ages figuring them out so I hope this helps.

• Call Alert (A-B) – The radio will beep or display a notification, but it doesn’t automatically open the audio. It’s basically just a “pager alert” to let you know your tones were received.
• Voice Call Alert (B-C) – The radio alerts you and immediately unmutes the speaker so you can hear traffic. This is usually the option used when you expect voice audio right after the tones.
• Select Call (B-D) – This works more like a private/individual call. The radio alerts and opens up for voice, but it’s tied to a specific selective call format, often used in fire/EMS setups where each unit gets its own tones

If you just want a simple page/beep, stick with Call Alert. If you want it to alert and then monitor the voice message automatically, go with Voice Call Alert. Select Call is more specialized and only useful if your agency or system uses that format.
