G4 Tone Outs on P25 P1

[jake_Braker]

I have a short tone for a station tone-out and a long tone for county all call programmed. However my belief is the long tone is causing my pager to hit on all the other stations being toned since it's the same Motorola code as almost all of our tone B's.
I was wondering how I could change the long tone setting to 7 or 8 seconds held steady before alerting to match the Minitor's setting.
I hope this makes sense, if it doesn't please let me know and I'll try to add in some videos/photos to help explain.

Here's another issue I have. That is not the station that is supposed to be toned out. It does it for almost every station

Set Minimum long digital tone detect time to 3500

That didn't work. Still the same issue

Here's another video of the issue. I checked the audio recording on the pager and it does show "GC Co. Tone" which is the name I set for our countywide (8sec) tone

Finally got it working after setting my long tone timing to the limit of 5000ms

So I've noticed, there's a department that gets toned out under a shorter version of the long tone I have (about 5 seconds) so it doesn't alert the entire county. However, it still sets off my pager as the long tone which causes issues. Any idea how I can fix that?

Also, I have a version of "monitor" on as well for both city and county (dispatch and all ops channels) and it's supposed to be setup so when the stations I have programmed get toned, it'll alert. Exactly like the Minitor. But it doesn't monitor, it just goes into standby mode for the departments I have programmed. I have alternatives turned on through the PPS

So, you have a long tone for a county-wide all-call that is 8 seconds, correct?

Your long tone minimum activation was 2.5 seconds, and was being tripped by 3 second 'B' tones for various depts. To correct that problem you changed your 'long tone minimum' to something longer than 3 seconds, correct?... you chose 5 seconds and that fixed the issue.

You have now found that there is a dept that uses a 5 second long tone and your pager is activating for it. You don't want that. So, what do you do?... when you were having issues receiving 3 second tones you increased your 'long tone minimum' and that corrected the issue. You're now having the same issue with a different dept's 5 second long tone. Why wouldn't you increase your 'long tone minimum' again, to something over 5 seconds, like 6 seconds, or 6.5 seconds?

I tried that before commenting, however the issue is, the PPS software (at least the most recent version when I posted that comment) wouldn't go above 5s. If that has been changed with a new beta version, I'll try it as soon as I can

So I just checked, I'm running the V00-03-16 Beta 24 version.

Here's a video of the issue with the station. According to a tone search on my other scanner, they are running 2 tones
