I haven't worked with the Quick Call 2 on my radio so I'm a bit lost here. We receive QC2 tones for our Motorola pagers. I want to program a horn alert in my truck so when my pager goes off, my horn will sound when I'm out in the field. So I understand the very basic part of enabling the QC2 in the conventional personality, but not sure how to tie the QC2 in with the Horn Alert feature. Also, where to set the receive tones in the CPS. Any suggestions or pointing me to an existing thread will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Conventional>Quick-Call II>Quick-Call II Call List and program in your tones.
Conventional>Conventional Personality>Signalling...set Signalling Type=Quick-Call II then move to the Quick-Call II tab in the pop-up window and select Decode and select the QC-II Call ID List from the selected list in the first step. Use the AND setting if you want the radio muted until tones are received or the OR setting if you want the radio to only fire the horn upon receiving tones.
Radio Configuration>Radio Wide>Alarm tab...enable Horn&Lights.
From there you just use the accessory connector on VIP Out 1 (SWB+ or VCC through a relay with the other side of the coil going to VIP Out 1). You can also add the H/L option to the control head to enable/disable the function.

Cool! Thank you for the help on this. I wasn't too far off. Have most of this done already. I will need to find the pinout for the accessory connector, but that should be easy. Do you know what the output voltage is that I will need to get a relay for? Of course, the load side will be 12v and at least enough amperage to carry the horn circuit. Thanks Again!

It is a sinking output (the pin is "floats" normally and grounds when triggered). 12V is fine and you can either pull the supply direct from the battery or via switched B+ on the back of the radio.

No problem. Just don't forget to fuse it if you source from the battery.
