I apologize if this is in the wrong place. Hey guys, I am a Lt. on a decent sized volunteer squad in a small city. Up until now we have been getting a mobile communications vehicle for our larger events but yesterday we found ourselves without one. Not a huge problem, I just grabbed a few portable and ran operations with them in a tent but I would like to see us go completely independent and become self sufficient in that aspect. A radio dealer in our area makes "radio boxes" if you will. They consist of 2 or 3 radios in a rugged shell box with a separate power supply and antennas. I'm probably going to quote out one with 3 moto trbo xpr 4000 mobiles (choosing this model because of price and we really don't need anything super powerful) with a boom mic and PTT buttons under the radios. Sorry for dragging this out but to get to the point I was wondering if it would be possible to set up some sort of "alert button" for the radios in the event that one of the units are not listening an alert tone can be sent out. By alert tone im talking about something along the lines of a 1000 mhz tone and a momentary button that can be pushed to get there attention. Most dispatch centers have this feature. i.e. they push the button and all the units hear a steady "beep" tone for however long the dispatcher holds the button down. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. On top of that If you guys have any suggestions for the box please feel free to submit them.
Thanks!!!
