How To Use Digital Tone Detect

[CanesFan95]

After receiving a tone-out, how do I tell what all the numbers mean? Looking through the history, I see this:





I know 11185 is the TGID, but what is the 1226406144 number? Selecting some entries only shows this:



Anyone know what the 9999 and 0072 numbers mean? But other entries in the history show this:





Are any of these numbers the actual tone frequencies?

I might have figured out one thing. In the last screenshot above, look at number 5:

5. P2-05-0406.25-3485

My guesses are:

P2 means Phase 2.
05 means the pre-numbered tone ID number in the PPS software used for programming



0406.25 means the audio tone frequency is 406.25 Hz, which falls within the range of tone #5 in the PPS software: 390.7 Hz - 421.8 Hz. Evidently, the Unications can't be programmed with an exact frequency, only a range.

3485 I believe is the number of milliseconds of time that the tone was sounded for.

All I get is start of voice and end of voice. Are you monitoring p25 or analog? I'm on p25

P25. It seems to also capture plain voice calls which is what you're seeing. When there's actual tones sent, then you'll see the tone frequencies. The history seems to only go back 10 transmissions, so the one with the tones can scroll quickly.

I can't find the lists that "CanesFan95" shows in his post. Where can I find them? Must I enable something first?

Put the pager on the desired TG, then hit the menu button (lower right bubbles), scroll to the end, choose Digital Tone Detect. Select it and wait for tones. After hearing tones, hit the Off button (blue dot left button). Then select History (white dot right button). There's a list of entries. Go into each one till you find where it shows the tones.
