Motorola Radius CP200

Does anyone on here own/use a Motorola Radius CP200 radio?
I was wondering if I can just use the scan feature in stead of programming just the one freq. I need but still have the radio be activated by the stations tones?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. It will activate in Quick call while the radio is in scan mode. I have weather alert programmed in some of the CP200's. They will scan the other 15 channels and will only activate when a weather alert is done by NWS. If you have more than one channel that has paging tones on them ,your station's dispach channel must be priority. If you want this channel to be silent at night so it will be like a pager it has to be set to AND instead of OR. This type of setup will not let you monitor this channel in scan though. I hope this helps.

Its hard to explain. I'm looking for a VHF 16 CH model. The Dispatch freq. is 155.9MHZ. I have the two tone freq. that is sent on the above freq. What im wondering is...If I buy the radio and dont change/program anything and since 155.9 is in the range of the VHF model then would I be able to hear the transmissions while its scanning? What I need it to do is act like a pager like you talked about above. So, if I wanted it to act as a pager then I have to have one of the 16 channels programmed to 155.9000MHZ and set that channel, lets say CH 1, to priority and then when the radio listens for the stations tones and the radio will then be activated by Quick Call, like a Moto Pager Monitor II would? Sorry for any confusion.

Thanks,
Kenny

If you have two channels in the radio, you can assign Quick Call to one of the channels. The other channel(s) will function normally and open when a signal is received. The channel with QC assigned will only open when the tones are received. There are a lot of other factors though. If there is a transmission on channel one and your tones are sent on channel two, you may miss them.

Scan

You should be able to do this with 1 channel programmed if it is the priority channel. I have my radio(HT1250) set with the station tone(voice page tone out)in Quick call and it will alert 90% of the time in scan. I am sure the CP200 will do this also but niether radio will do 100% of the time in scan. I have nite channel set up that only goes off when the station is toned out. Most deptments I have delt with are not happy with the performance in scan mode but 90% is as good as it gets.
