Motorola DOS

[jnasium21]

Hi all,
I am trying to get DOS setup, and I have everything working properly, however I cannot hear the beep from DOS. I assume it is due to improper coast time. Is there a way to figure it out, or is it guess and check?

Thanks!!

What radio are you using?

I don't know if its in the default books anymore but the DOS time for the popular heard squawk if I recall is 267.0

Yep - that’s what I have all my radios set to as well.

Correct. However the XPR series radios only go in increments of 500ms which is why I asked

I have an XTS 1500.

I will try that. Thank you.

Hows it working now? Yea if its xpr, that makes it easier choice thru no choice you will have to live it but you likely won't get that famous mdc squawk heard on cops thats 267ms. I believe thats the specific time for that specific beep.

Its been while since I've played with mdc and dos, what does 500ms do? mute it completely?

I made a small mistake and it's actually increments of 50ms not 500. So you either get 250 or 300, cant get 267.
