Minitor V Programming Tones

[k1sah]

I"m trying to program a Minitor V to alert on 600.9hz tone A and 746.8hz tone B.

I can do this just fine when in "Motorola" tone system mode... but in "User" mode these two tones won't hold, after I type them in the program forces defaults of 601.1 and 747.3. I need a mix of Plectron and Motorola tones to alert two different departments so I have to be in user mode.

Can I force the Minitor PPS to accept the proper tones some how? Or are the two tones that PPS is defaulting to close enough that the pager will alert anyway?

Thanks for the help!

Usually a hertz or two off doesn't affect decode. My gut says you're fine...

It will activate fine on those tones. I think the threshold is + or - 5hz. And considering both tones are less than 1 hz away you are finnnneee.

This is normal behavior with the Minitor V PPS in User tone system mode. It's by design. Nothing to worry about at all, the pager will alert just fine with that very slight deviation.

Thanks a bunch guys. I figured as much... but wanted to be absolutely certain and not miss alerts. I can stop scratching my head now due to the expertise you so kindly shared.
