Tones

[veeker]

hi there, i just learned how i can send my fire pages to my phone via software on here. now the only problem im having is im not sure of the frequency of the tones for my department. Im on the wilkesport FD(station 4) in st. clair township in lambton county if thats helps anyone. the only tone info i can find is for the dispatch. they use 103.5 PL system for the whole county. so if any one can help me find tones for just my station the would be a great help.

Thanks

You will either need to find someone 'in the know', read the info from a pager, or record one of your tone outs and find the info that way (that's what I did with most of the Middlesex County tones). Do you guys have pager tests at a regular day/time? I could try to record it from here and help you out.

I recorded last Monday but didn't catch anything... I will try again tomorrow night.

ok thank you. do you know of any good software that i can use to record it, just in case you are out of range.

Pretty much anything will do, including Windows sound recorder. If you want something a little more fancy check out Audacity. It's a great audio program and best of all it's free.

I just recently added another station to my ttd software and found the tone frequencies by watching the readings in the two tone detect window during a pager test.

Yep, that works as well if you know the page is coming and you are ready for it.
