I'm not sure how many of you guys have read the Two Tone Detect thread here on Radioreference but one of the board members has developed an application that decodes the Quick Call II tones and then records 30 seconds of the page and emails it out in mp3 format with the subject line showing which department was paged.
I have set up all the rural departments in Waterloo Region and currently have them being forwared to Fire Paging | Google Groups if anybody is interested in trying it out. Each paged would be emailed separately with a small MP3 file containing 30 seconds of the dispatched call. I can also break it down to individual departments and create separate groups if some members only want certain departments. I have already done this system with a few Fire Fighters in Woolwich Township so it isn't really an issue.
I am considering adding additional departments if I find there is any interest. From here in Kitchener I can here the following areas.
Wellington County
Perth County
Brant County
Norfolk County
Halldimand County
Six Nations Fire
Halton Region
Grimsby
Orangeville / Shelburne / Grand Valley
Am I missing any?
Each County would require its own soundcard and receiver so I would be looking for donations of old conventional scanners and possibly donations via Paypal to obtain a multi-coupler and additional computers. Or others could possibly set up their own area and forward to the group I have created as another alternative.
I have tested this on a Blackberry Curve and an iPod Touch and it has worked flawlessly.
