HT1250 Programming Questions

[MNRotrMedic]

Hello,
I've done some searching but i haven't found satisfactory answers. I have a few questions regarding programming my HT1250:

• How would i go about configuring an MDC system to receive only? I work for an ambulance service that has 2 repeaters with the same output freq/pl but different inputs. Each tower has an MDC signal at the end of each transmission. I would like to configure my radio to receive and display these MDC codes so that i can eventually assign aliases to them so that i will know which tower is being transmitted on. I want to be certain that i don't transmit any MDC info when i transmit on my portable.

• My other question is about transmitting QCII tones. I know that i choose the tone that i want to transmit from the menu, is there a way to limit which personality is able to transmit the tones? Basically is there a way to ensure that i can transmit tones on personality A without any problems but also ensure that tones can not be transmitted on personality B. It shouldn't be a big deal if this isn't possible but it would be a nice "housekeeping" item for the radio.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Matt

MDC Rx, within each Conventional Personality you would like to rx on, Signaling tab, set the Rx System to MDC-1. Leave the TPL Required Unchecked. Leave the Signaling Squelch to Or.
Go to Signaling tab, MDC System 1, Check the Display Decode ID field.

Tx QCII, I do not believe you can set it to choose a channel. But you probably would want to go to the Signaling tab, then Signaling Configuration, then General, Check the Basic Sel Cal field, this will make the tones go out only once, then you can tx a message. If you leave this Unchecked, the tones will go out every time you press the ptt button, unless you "back out" of the signaling menu.
