PRO-136 question- HELP!

[kilodelta97]

Hey all. I just bought a lovingly used PRO 136 to scan at home. I read through the manual already and couldn’t find the answer I was looking for, so hopefully someone can help.

I’m a volunteer FF/EMT and I was looking at setting up the scanner to alert for tones. Is there a way to set up the PRO 136 to alert for two-tone fire tones? And if it is possible, would I be able to hook something up to the “alert out” output used for wx alerts to work for a fire tone?

I do have some experience programming VHF radios, but I’m no professional in any way.

Sorry if this was a dumb question, I appreciate it!

The only "dumb question" is one not asked... Sorry to say the Pro 136 does not have the fire tone out capability. It is a fairly basic scanner that doesn't have ctcss capabilities, but it IS a good little analog scanner.
I'm not sure if Radio Shack / GRE / Whistler branded scanners ever had a model that does the 2 tone alert, but several Uniden models have the capabilites.
