My chief posed a Question, are the 80 Series radios capable of sending out tones to open up pagers. If so how? Thanks in advance

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.
Tk 3180/8180 paging

MHz so good
Yes you can. Assuming you're talking about 2-tone sequential paging. According to kenwood, the 2180/3180 will encode 2-tone. Not sure how you go about setting it up, though.
Assuming you have software to set this up:
First go to EDIT>TWO TONE and under the encode tab name your page and enter the A and B tones. The timing parameters can be left as default.
Second program a button on the radio as "Two Tone".
To make a page, go to the correct channel, press the button for two tone encode, press the "<" or ">" buttons to scroll the menu list and then hit the PTT. Off it goes.
I use a portable to test with. If you're going to use it for testing and you're on a repeater, may I suggest setting the channel to talkaround and low power as so not to set off everybodys pager in the city.
