TwoToneDetect New TwoToneDetect in the works - Python based

[webstar22]

Yeah the problem is the FD I want the last two tones match the last two tones of the FD I don't want.

Just the first two are different and I have TwoTone picking up the last two tones as sometimes the first two are cut off.

 

[ffryan76]

So, if others are not having the problems I am with Version 68 12/21/15, what settings could it be on my machine that is causing the issue? I get the admin window (as seen attached) but then it doesn't run. Suggestions?

So how would I deal with this. Local FD has 3 sets of 2 tones. The last two sets are the same tones just reversed the problem is they match another FD I have in Twotone so it picks them up for the wrong FD.

We have one Freq that repeats all county pages but each FD also has there own. I am using the county wide because I can pick up more.


634-596 Hz 1.0-3.2 sec page received at 17:41:41 on 12/27/15
596-634 Hz 1.0-2.8 sec page received at 17:41:36 on 12/27/15
596-924 Hz 1.0-3.0 sec page received at 17:41:30 on 12/27/15

As soon as it sees 634-596 Hz it starts recording because it thinks it is the other dept I do have programmed in.


I thought about using the first two tones from all the FD"s but as the scanner is flipping channels it sometimes cuts off the first tone.

Set the Btonelelngth of the other department's 596 tone to something greater than one second (2 seconds, for instance). That should prevent it from triggering on the one second A tone.

I did a quick search for auto play and finding nothing...

Is there any known means to auto play these smartphone messages? I have a department that desires that feature.
Any one?

That will likely require software. There are programs out there (can't recall the name right now) that can push the audio to the phones as well as allow the FF's to press a response button that others can see like enroute etc..

Does anyone have the programming string for ignore emails between certain times? On the editor screen that field is outside of my display and I would like to add it in manually.

Thanks

So what are the chances of getting a Tone C, D, E, F if needed.

As I said above I got one FD that is 2 Tones, 2 more Tones and 2 more tones. The problem is the 2nd set and 3rd set match other FD's tones so I am getting false triggers.

Even if it isn't in the GUI but something I can put in the tones.cfg it would be useful.

Trying to figure out what to do with 3 depts that are triggering each other.

As I said before, set your Btonelength to 1.5 seconds (or greater, if you're dealing with something other than standard 1 second / 3 second tones) to prevent an A tone from being detected as a B tone. This should solve your problem.

Ok.

Fire Dept 1 - 3 sets of 2 tones
785-924 Hz 3.2-1.2 sec
596-634 Hz 1.0-3.0 sec
634-596 Hz 0.8-3.0 sec

Fire Dept 2
Don't have first two tones handy
634-596 Hz 0.8-3.0 sec

So I want both FD's BUT they are send out as each other because of the 634-596 Hz at the end.

And there is also a 3rd dept that has 634-596 Hz as the first two tones so it triggers on that as well.

I now have a radio locked to the channel so it will hear all tones so thats why I asked if there could more than Tone A and B because I can set it for all 4 or even all 6 tones.

Now unless I am doing this wrong but I have been programming two tone using the final tones in the groups. Should I be using the first two?

I've changed the way I send out the emails to a regular gmail account from a Google business account. Some email addresses are "kicking back" with a permanent fail. I am using the BBC and figured this is why.

Is the solution, have the receiver make sure the address of the sending email address be in their contact list on their phone?

You'll want to use whatever tone is unique to that department (sounds like it's the first in the sequence from what I gather). Having a radio locked on the channel is really the only reliable way to make sure you'll always pick up the tones. If you do that and use the first tone set, I think you'll be fine. The 3rd department problem can be solved by setting your Btonelength to 1.5 seconds or greater.

I've attached a .mp3 in a .zip of the 3 tones.

634-596 Hz 1.0-3.2 sec page received at 00:23:40 on 01/05/16
596-634 Hz 1.0-2.8 sec page received at 00:23:35 on 01/05/16
596-924 Hz 0.8-3.0 sec page received at 00:23:30 on 01/05/16

So my problem is I have 2 other FDs in the area.
1 uses. 596-634 as it's 2nd set
1 uses 634-596 as it's first set.
So I get false triggers for all 3 FD's when this one gets called out.

So yeah I guess I could use the first tones of 596-924 and tell it to wait 6 seconds before recording so it other tones are done. It thought allowing the program to be able to use more tones would be better it seems now.

My idea would have been
RECORD
Tone E-F 634-596 Hz 1.0-3.2 sec page received at 00:23:40 on 01/05/16
Tone C-D 596-634 Hz 1.0-2.8 sec page received at 00:23:35 on 01/05/16
Tone A-B 596-924 Hz 0.8-3.0 sec page received at 00:23:30 on 01/05/16

Or even just AB CD so you need both sets before it records.

I'm curious how these departments have their pagers setup. Pagers aren't this complex and will just go off for the set of tones. Is there some commonality to both departments that they are using the same tone?

Sounds like they maybe sending out multiple tones for multiple pager groups maybe. Just a guess.

One set may be an all call, another one duty, another cheifs???

I keep getting force closes with V68. Nothing was showing in the log and it would just quit but today I got the following message:

"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\TTD68\TwoToneDetect68_Debug.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the applicatio's support team for more information."

It seems to quit about every 24 hours. I'm going to try the non-debug version to see if that runs any different.

I had the same thing happen this morning. I wasn't running debug though. Is there a error log we can locate in Windows 10 to pass along to Andy?

 

[webstar22]

Most of these are volunteer depts or they have maybe 1-2 guys at the hall full time so it would be them, then the call in crews and then the 2nd call in crews but yeah multiple groups.

Every FD is 2 sets of 2 tones. The 1 FD as I attached is 3 sets of 2 tones I even have one that is 1 set of 2 tones and 1 8 second long tone.

The one country dispatch centre does all of these FDs as well. Category:Renfrew County - Firefighting Wiki - Wikia

They all have there own FD frequencies which they use for fireground plus get the pages on it, the county has one freq for communications back and forth and they repeat all pages on 1 channel, so even if I am not in range of all the FD's this one channel gives me all there pages so I am pretty good spot to do a massive county page to email system if I can get these tones worked out.

ANd if it is anything like I have seen on the maps a county in canada is massive compared to a county in the US.

I am having the same issue on Windows 10.

Version 68 will not start-up. I have to start the debug version in order to get TwoTone to start normally, or I have to right click and run as administrator the non debug version, but am presented with the same screen and then still it won't start.
