Understanding delay settings for QCII over P25

[Gilligan]

I'm a bit confused by the variety of settings used on QCII over P25, and after reading through a ton of instructions, I'm still trying to determine exactly what should be used for my situation. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

My county uses two-tone pages that are being simulcasted over the P25 system. Most of the time, they are very close together, however a few times, I've noticed that they can be several seconds apart. Worse yet, sometimes the voice follows nearly 10-15 seconds after the paging. What I'm trying to set up is a way to have all of the pages alert for different departments and then it will stay unmuted on the dispatch talkgroup for a certain delay of time (ex. 30 seconds) after the last tone-out.

Right now I'm using Monitor TImeout with a Timer Reset Timer of 30 seconds. Delay N Function is enabled for 20 seconds, and Record Delay is enabled for 10 seconds. What I'm seeing is that after the page, even though the fire dispatch talkgroup is the one one in the scanlist for the zone/channel, I'm hearing all traffic (including encryption noise) from other talkgroups.

How can I just keep it on the dispatch talkgroup for like 30 seconds after the last tone-out? Thanks for any advice...

After some more monitoring, I think the real issue I'm having is that all talkgroup traffic is being passed while the radio is in Monitor mode for 30 seconds after the dispatch, instead of just the single talkgroup that is being checked for tones. Is there a way to have it stay on the dispatch talkgroup only, for the remainder of the monitoring (30 seconds or so)?

are you attempting to hear all traffic like prior to dropping the tone or? i guess im a little confused. If you would like send me your unipps file and i can take a loot and mybe understand a little more.

actually... try Selective Call Timer Reset, that may solve your issue. Monitor is a whole different beast with talkgroups

I think I finally got it figured out. I'm using Auto-Reset plus Delay N Function at 20 seconds. That seems to be working. Thanks for the suggestions!

What exactly are you using for settings that fixed the issue? I am trying to program in the same thing, Moto QCII tones, and after Alerting, I am getting all TG's that are on the system, I only want to monitor those in my Talk Group List.

I simply would like to know what settings to use in order to "scan" talkgroups in the "Talk Group List" after the pager alerts for a page, I don't want it to "wildcard" on every talkgroup on the system.

Hard to explain. So I was gonna help you with your file. Instead I will simply post the link to the video so you can learn from watching it. To get it to alert on all subgroup tones you have enabled, you need to uncheck delay n timer.

When you have the Reset Mode set to the any of the Monitor settings you will receive all TGs on the system. When ever you see Monitor it means it will listen to all TGs even if they are not programmed in the knob selection.
