VX-180 Motorola Paging Help

[rdale]

I've programmed my 2-tone as:

Auto-reset: On
Time: 5
Primary group: 2nd tone
Secondary group: off
call: 1
Secondary: pair#2
tone: standard

In the frequency I want to use, I've programmed it and added primary pair as #1 and second pair as V. I've put button C as the CALL/RESET button.

I can hear audio on the channel just fine, but when I press button C all it does is turn the backlight on. I've moved the assignment around and that still doesn't change what it does.

What am I missing on making this the voice and/or pager channel?

I figured out that if I'm listening or scanning, and the tones go off, I hear the alert and get CALLED on the display.

I'd like to set one of the channels in my bank up as a channel that is quiet unless tones come out. But in my programming software, the "DUTY" is disabled. Is there a workaround to accomplish this?
