Okay. So here's my question...
I'm on with my local VFD and have become the defunct radio programming guy. Which is great. I've upgraded our pagers quite a bit and have done some work with the channels to update them.
My issue is I have 2 channels in a priority scan ( FD and PD) with FD being the priority to listen for tones. I have one of our stations set up to listen to 2 tones on a totally different freq and group id setting. The scan channel still alerts to the 2tone even though that group id is off for that channel and scan. so when we're on the scan channel I DO NOT need it to alert, since we're just scanning and listening. When it does alert, it alerts twice and covers up dispatch audio making to actually hear the call.
What do I need to change to NOT have it alert on anything while scanning?
Additional details...
Our department is on P25 Conventional radio system with an analog repeater doing tones for Rescue with is TG 14 in the digital.
Pagers normal alert works great when listening to analog alerts. I haven't figured out the digital alerting for us yet.
Attached is the detailed printout from our PPS. The Zone and Knob positions that are in question in this post are:
Z1/P5/ FD & PD Scan - Priority Scan
Z1/P4/ KFire-Monitor - Monitor Mode
Z1/P6/ KPD - Mon - Monitor Mode
If you have a minute to help me out it'd be huge!
Thanks
