Tytera TYT MD-UV390PLUS Paging Question

[BWThrasher]

I’ve been looking into purchasing a TYT MD-UV390PLUS Radio to use with my volunteer fire department. Does this radio have the capability to program a paging channel like Kenwood Radios where it only notifies you when your department gets a call?
Thanks

All most sure it doesn't do two tone paging.

This radio isn't really made for public safety use and you would be better served with a Kenwood. The Kenwood would be much better for this use and would hold up much better.

I will still answer the question asked.
The MD390UV PLUS in DMR digital mode has (in addition to AES and RC4 encryption) a talkgroup and a color code.
For the user to receive the voice call, the call must be made by a member of the same talkgroup on the same color code, otherwise the user does not hear anything.
The MD390UV PLUS also has SMS, you can send the SMS to a particular user with his number and only this user receives the SMS.
If encryption is enabled, conversations and text messages are encrypted. And there are no licenses to purchase to use encryption. only the FCC license part 90 to obtain.
I don't know if that is what you are talking about.

if you are talking about the analog mode, the 390UV PLUS has DCS/CTCSS tones. The user's analogue reception is only activated if the transmitter has the correct DCS or CTCSS tones.

Note that there is no need to press a key to send the color codes/talkgroup or the DCS/CTCSS. Once they are programmed into the radio as soon as the transmitter presses the PTT, the correct codes are sent and if the receiver has the same codes programmed, the squelch opens and it hears the transmitter.

You can have several channels and each channel can have a different code. All channels can be programmed on the same frequency if desired, and therefore on the same frequency you can then use several different codes to make different groups.

To select another group, the transmitter just changes channels with the rotary knob. The channel number is written on the screen and can be spoken in English if desired.

He is taiking about fire department two tone paging like is used with Motorola Minitor Pagers.

As I said abovd t his radio can't do two tone paging. Two tone paging is much different from PL tones.

See the link below on two tone paging.

Two-Tone Paging - Genave

Two-Tone Paging Signals Many public safety pagers and control systems use audio tones to activate. The most common type are two tones that are sent in sequence. Hence it’s names, Two-Tone Paging or Two-Tone Sequential. A valid two-tone page is comprised of four elements: First tone frequency...

Suggest your Volunteer department set up a Go fund me page, for radio funding for you guys.

The other option is price what it will take to provide all members and do local fund raisers to raise money for this project.

ok sorry I didn't understand that. I thought he wanted to know if it was about the same thing but without being compatible with the tones of Kenwood's specifics.

No problem we all learn new stuff all the time.

Two tone with many times called by it's Motorola name of Quick Call is slowly going away and be replaced by other ways to.alert on call or volunteer fire fighters.

I have it on some of Kenwood radios, but kind the sunset for being able to.do this with only a few local counties still using this alert method
