So lets say I want my G5 to alert for Tone A and Tone B on County 1 Dispatch 154.22 but on the same knob I want it to alert for Tone C and Tone D on County 2 Dispatch 155.55 since I am on the border of both counties. Is there a way to set that up to alert for both consistently? I feel like when I set both up individually in separate knobs and then create a scan knob to combine them I end up missing some dispatches.

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.
Tone Alerts from 2 frequencies?

No way, currently, to scan two analog freqs and alert in monitor mode. I’ve seen references to silent scan doing this but has not worked for me.
You can do it with a Minitor V or VI - Silent Scan
I think he was talmbout the Unication being able to accomplish this task. I got a M4 that can do it.
Thank you. At least I know I'm not crazy.
If they're both analog channels, the G5 should be able to accomplish this, you just have to make the two different monitor channels with their respective tones, and then set up a third channel which scans them. Bear in mind that this could cause you to miss transmissions/tones if one is transmitting the same time as the other, as the pager will select whichever activity it hears first.
