Are you looking for QC-II tone info for the tone and voice paging for Fire and EMS or are you looking for the pager coding for the 900 Mhz digital paging system?

Steve,

Thanks for the reply. I am looking for the CAP Codes used on Monroe Counties UHF Paging System. Prior to this new 900Mhz system going into place Monroe County utilized a UHF Paging System on Frequency 453.400. This system was used with Motorola Advisors and Advisor II's. The paging system is still up and running and is very widely used still to this day. I have a old Advisor that still works with my old department but would like to use it in my new department. Without Hilton's CAP Code though I am dead in the water.

Bring it to Radio Center with a letter from your supervisor and they should be able to help you out.

I carried one of those for the last few years of may career. Unlike a Minitor V, you can't just program in a QC-II tone pair (which is what a cap code is) and get it to work for a new department. IIRC, the Advisors are controlled by digital information rather than tone information. It requires a special programming system.

Alex's answer is pretty much your only choice. Because the data that is sent to the Advisor direct from ECD's CAD events, access to the system is tightly controlled and only authorized personnel can have their Advisors programmed to receive that agency's dispatches. As Alex said, you need authorization from your department which you then take to Radio Center and they will update the pager.

If David or Janice Lloyd are still active out there, go talk to them. Either one can explain it to you.

I could write a lot more but I won't.

All I will say is ----- CAP CODE RECEIVED, I REPROGRAMMED IT WITH THE NEW CAP CODE AND THE PAGER WORKS GREAT.

It was announced Thursday (11/15) by Radio Center than the UHF paging system will be turned off Dec 31, 2012 due to narrowband compliance.

Just an FYI for when your pager stops working....

Using a program such as PDW, you can quickly determine the digital capcodes over the air.

Cobble an interface together, grab the software and program your pager with the captured capcodes and you'll be receiving every page sent.

When customers complained about missing pages, we'd clone a pager and monitor for a while to make sure the pages were at least making it out of the transmitters.
