• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

How would I go about programming a radio to alert upon receiving a single Long Tone? Would selecting "A-B" as the call format be sufficient as long as I use the same frequency for Tone A and Tone B?

Thanks,
John

If your radio has a code format for a long tone I would use that. However plugging the same freqs in both A and B works just fine also.

If you programing for "A/B - Long B", the radio will respond to either your individual tone pair or 8 seconds of Tone B.

Thanks for the replies. The HT1250 only has Long Tone as a Tx code format, not a Rx code format for some reason. I'll test it out with both A-B and A-B/Long B and see if one works better than the other.

The HT1250 offers a multitude of tone formats. Signaling --> Quick Call II System --> Basic Tab there is a drop down that lists a whole bunch of different call formats including A/B/Long B and A/B/Long C.
