Verdugo Fire Tones?

[tomas21]

Curious if anyone knows the latest Verdugo Fire Freq & tones ...

I have been scanning 154.37 for tones over a week but no hits...

I can pick this up on the P25 Red 1 prior to dispatch but trying to find the tones..

He means the tones for the 2-tone paging system, not the PL tone

From the MP3 file you posted I am decoding:
1st - 805 hz
2nd - 688 hz

3 beeps - 805 hz

 

[tomas21]

Awesome. What app or process did you use to decode that mp3?

I have a guitar tuner that reads out in hz.

There's also some info in the Radio Reference wiki, but I don't know how current it is.

There is only one set of QCII Tones on Verdugo.

Most of the newer Uniden scanners with fire tone out can decode the tones. You have to set both A and B tones to 0.

Ya I ran that setup for 3 days with no hits.

Try the iphone app Radio ID (the icon is a handheld radio and ....1234 ) and is listed as "utilities." App creator is Matthew Kaufman

Try changing the modulation from Auto to one of the other 2 modes, dependent on what the correct default is for the frequency being monitored. On VHF-Lo (25-50 MHz.) use "FM" mode, on VHF-Hi (140-174 MHz.) and UHF above 400 MHz.) use NFM for most situations.

What are the ones with tones of 0.0 doing?

FWIW, I listened to D-3 (484.1125) for a few hours and heard no 2-tone (but plenty of LACoFD traffic).

 

[kearthfan101]

Shouldn't all 2-tones on LAC be on U-1 483.75 anyway? I haven't monitored as much following the switch from the Blue channels but if U-1 is the same as old Blue 8 then I'd swap that frequency.

@tomas21 what city are you monitoring from?

 

[tomas21]

Been a long time... just revisiting this old tones post I had as I'm sure many are outdated, incorrect or no longer valid since I never got things working... monitoring tones from Glendale.

Just heard a couple two-tone signals on U-1 about 16:54.
