Has anyone been able to program the Anytone 878 to receive 2-tone signals from Montgomery Fire on VHF 154.16 which is main dispatch? I would like to hear only my local fire station, Glen Echo Station 11. I think I have the correct tones 389.0 Hz and 569.1 Hz but I can't seem to make it work.

Any help out there?

****Make sure you configure the FTO channel as receive only to prevent interference.*****

Also keep in mind that if the carrier is dropped, the Anytone radio *may* reset the squelch and you *might* miss the callout. I know that my county's FTO channel drops the carrier momentarily between the tone out sequence and the alert tones, and again when the telecommunicator begins their voice dispatch.
