Tone out question 996T

[N4DXX]

I am for the first time trying this feature on the 996t..However our department uses 3 tones A-B-C and i noticed there is only A-B for the 996t out tones are as follows A-349.0 B 389.0 C 600.9.Is it possible for this to still work on the 996 with just the 1st two tones programmed A-B?Thank's

I don't know how the dept. in question uses its tones, but some departments use an A-B tone-out for fire and an A-C tone-out for Ems or All Call. You might try entering in your A-B in one slot and your A-C tone in another slot as an A-B tone.

Generally if they are using ABC tone set up it would be your your A/B tone would be one set up and then they are probably using your C tone combined with either your A or B tone...so it could be A/C or B/C or even C/A or C/B.

The fire dept.s I have been with in the past and the one I'm currently with used an ABC format where it was...
A/B then C/B

I hope this helps and someone out there may have a different view.

It should work fine for you if your dept always goes A --> B --> C. Just program A and B and it should hear A and B, then alert and open and then you'll hear C followed by the voice. If it's not always A --> B --> C then you can program a few diff combinations. EG A-B into tone out 1, B-C into tone out 2, A-C into tone out 3, etc. Since it's all on the same frequency, the 996 will check all the pairs you put in for that frequency (that is it won't hold on just one of the combinations).
