Pro- 96 tones

Did someone say it was happening on a CSQ channel?

Yea, I made it in an earlier post...

I have one locality in particular that does it for me. Chesterfield County, VA uses a P-25 800MHz system, but simulcasts it's dispatch traffic and tones out its volunteers on 154.160MHz. However, this is CSQ, so different PL's definately isn't an issue.

Still a little baffled!

I don't have one and haven't read the manual, but is it possible that this is some feature that is supposed to skip data transmissions?
Like the way some old scanners would skip the old IMTS idle channel tone.

I thought about the very same thing. I don't suspect that it's a data skip, as I can listen to audible paging tones for other surrounding departments with no problem at all. It's just the tones for this one department.

I've checked the settings too, and they're all programmed the same.

If it is programmed to skip IMTS tones, then only certain paging tones might be affected.

IMTS is a new acronym for me. Can I get a definition? :?

I had the same problem in N.J. with one of the medics tones. Except it would happen on my MTS 2000 & my MCS 2000. The tones were use by 2 diffrent medic units just reversed.

Medic 712 A tone: 701.0
B Tone: 1820.0
Both are set to Motorola tones in Software.
Medic 714 A tone: 1820.0
B Tone: 701.0

714's B tone would cut out during a dispatch. 712 tones would not. This would happen for every dispatch. "A" tone would go for 1 second, "B" tone would go for 3 seconds. The pl was 186.2.

I tried to attach a sound wav of the tone, but it will not let me. Sorry.

IMTS is an old acronym for Improved Mobile Telephone Service.
Thats the old 152 & 454 MHz systems that had a 2000 Hz tone on the
channels that were available to make a call.
Some scanners would skip this tone and my old BC-210 used to false alot on other tones.

And the tones on the CSQ channel are cutting out? What type of system are they using? Tone remote? DC remote?

Could be overdeviation. Is your scanner set to SNFM when it should be NFM? (or, in Unideneeze, NFM when it should be FM?)

with apologies....

stupid question here... is this happening with priority on or off.... the reason i ask is that i can't use priority on my 96 because of one very, very old paging system that activates the priority feature when they tone out any of four fire departments....
