Vertex vx454 group call

[firebell9137]

Hi. I have the vertex vx454. How do you decode group calls on a single channel selective call style and enable it in the cps? Is it tone a or tone b to put the tone in? TIA

Yes, tone A and leave B blank.
You will probably want to reduce the timing of the Group from 8 seconds. This was the old standard, but many places use shorter. Also check the timing of your A/B calls many have been reduced to less than A 1 second and B 3 seconds. I can post a screenshot if you need it, but it's all under Signaling -> 2-ton -> 2-tone System and don't forget to enable on the main channel page under Signaling Type and number

Ok thanks. Am i able to only decode a 2 tone page but only tone b so i can get all calls that end with tone b: 569.1?

Is there a recent firmware for the vx454? Just wanted to stay updated. I have the latest cps

I doubt "recent". A quick look I see Version 1.28 from 12/2014
