MOTOTRBO Horn Light activation

I'm sure this has been asked, probably a 100 times, and I did a search, but to no avail. Our local FD is looking to add a XPR5350 to our storm siren. I've been trying to see if its possible to decode a "two tone" or such for activating the horn/light relay in the radio, or if SW B+ as well to send power out.

Sure you can. You can use either QCII (two tone) or MDC. Whichever you will set the radio up for call alert. When activated it will pulse 12 VDC from the horn / lights output good up to half an amp. Enough to run a 12 volt 30 amp cube relay.

The siren needs its own run timer because you can only go as high as 30 seconds from the radio.

Danggit, I meant to say can it be done on a digital channel?

I'm not that familiar with DMR/TRBO so thats why I'm asking here.
