Happy new year all!
I am on a regional fire dispatch system in New Hampshire (Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid). The network operates a simplex simulcast system with Several towers on mountain tops across the region.
Lakes Region uses QC II (or perhaps some other iteration of the two-tone analog paging system) to dispatch individual towns with some having multiple sets of tones depending on the call. Fortunately, my town only has 1 set of tones for all calls:
A) 1357.0
B) 764.6
My Uniden scanner properly trips every time These tones come through the dispatch channel. Furthermore, the computer program called two-tone detect also seems to be working properly. But, neither my XTS nor XTL5000 ever alert in either the and setting or the or setting for these or any other tones that come from dispatch.
Making the situation even more confusing, when I use one radio to key the same tones on a separate frequency for testing purposes, the other radio does alert properly, along with the uniden scanner. Issues alerting for the XTL & XTS only arise when the tones come from dispatch but the uniden scanner’s performance is exactly the same in all scenarios.
After reading other threads, it seems that this is not an uncommon issue, and furthermore, it seems that our community has collectively not been able to solve it yet.
Im hoping perhaps others who have had this issue might be able to share and discuss what they have done to try and address it, andfolks who have been able to successfully work with QCII might be able to share their expertise and insights.
I’m sure there is something silly I am missing in the CPS, and hopefully someone will be able to call me out on it!
Thanks!
