Now someone has to figure out if they are actually working two tones....or just the nostalgic sounds of yore.
ICI Trunked System - Posts your new findings here!
My question if they do bring it back, and its on a TG what good does it do us. AFAIK (and of course thats not much) unless you have a /\/\ on ICIS you can't decode the 2 tones.
Now I hope they bring it back on a conv freq. Then I see a Minitor in my future.

It was a two tone, not just some random beep. I also think it was quit a coincidence that it was played right before a BC page.

Has anyone ID'ed these tones?
What freq are you hearing the tones on? If its a TG we can't decode it that I know of. If its a conv freq we can. I was told that something is up but really not sure what. It was made to sound like the departments want the paging back. We shall see.......

NEWBIE ALERT...
Can someone take a moment and explain the two tones thing ?
Is it the the two longish loud tones (800hz ? attention getters) heard before a dispather message or are you talking about something else ?
What does Chet mean /\/\ and decoding tones ?
If two tones means the attention signal ? I heard those twice on Red 1 dispatch
and on Red 3 last about 6:15PM yesterday.

Just heard em again. Was a two tone then dispatch for a smoke inside a structure. I was recording it but got a text on my cell so it stopped recording. #^%$&^$.

Just found on socalscan.
Steve, /\/\ is just a fancy way of saying Motorola.
Decoding the tones is when tones are sent out and it opens the radio up to rx. Unless the tones are decoded the radio remains silent. That way you only have to hear what matters to you, not what all the other departments are doing.
The two tones in this case seem to be used for a different purpose.

Bob Hope and ICIS
Not exactly new information....but more information on Bob Hope Airport's use of ICIS:
Looking at my logs...the most used radio for Airport Fire is naturally Dispatch....followed by Rescue 17, which responds to all the EMT calls with a backup from a Burbank RA and Engine. I havent heard the Crash engines since their training sessions.

WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS USE AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF BURBANK AND THE BURBANK-GLENDALEPASADENA
AIRPORT AUTHORITY – A staff report is included in the agenda
packet. In early 2006 the Authority authorized Staff to improve the Authority's
public safety communication system from an analog system to a digital system and
to allow public safety personnel to participate in the Interagency Communication
Interoperability System ("ICIS"). As part of this upgrade, the proposed Wireless
Communications Use and Maintenance Agreement (copy included with the staff
report) between the City of Burbank ("City") and the Authority would provide ICIS
connectivity and roaming capability for 64 Authority-owned digital radios
primarily used by the Bob Hope Airport Police and Fire Departments. Also
included as part of this cost is radio maintenance service to be performed by the
City of Burbank.
Additional terms of the proposed agreement are:
• Term: Ten years.
• Termination: As early as 90 days and requires mutual
agreement.
• Initial Fee: $25 per radio per month, including basic
maintenance and ICIS fee of $5 per radio per month for
roaming privileges. This fee includes any fees that the City
pays to ICIS. As the representative ICIS member, the
Burbank Water and Power Department will pay the roaming

Why would Burbank water and power be the gobetween? shouldn't it be Police or Fire?
Because BWP manages and maintains the radio system for the city.icis_monitor said:
The tones (700 Hz & 800 Hz) are just intended to alert station personnel to a full assignment.chet- said:

What you do since Red 1 is simulcasted over Green 7 you figure out the tones and thier Hz's, of course posting here 
, and then set if available your Radio or Scanner on fire tones out with the freq as Green 7.
, and then set if available your Radio or Scanner on fire tones out with the freq as Green 7.OK, maybe I have gone mad but a question for the ICIS gurus.
Do say Burbank Fire, Burbank Police, BWP etc use a different NAC? If so could someone take a /\/\otorola Astro and just program the freqs of the system (not the control) with the NAC of the department they are interested in and let it scan. It would let you follow a trunk system without being on the trunk system just like a scanner but with the hearing of a
Motorola.
With me I am just interested in Verdugo, mostly Burbank Fire. Is that possible???
