This example shows the setup of the 2TONE audible Paging system referred to as Quik Call 1, also known as Two-Tone Paging or Two-Tone Sequential, commonly used
by Public Safety pagers. Anyone familiar with the TV show 'Emergency' from the 70s will
recognize the
tone system I'm referring to.
The tones used for this test will be: 378.6 / 422.1 Hz with a 1 second / 3
second timing, which can be heard
HERE.
To test using the tones above requires 2 handhelds, both on a simplex channel.
Hold the microphone of one up to your PC speaker and transmit the tone to the
test radio.
The first tone (378.6 Hz) will sound for 1 second.
The second tone (422.1) will sound for 3 seconds.
There will be no space between tones.
Here's how they would be setup with the Anytone software.
- Select 2TONE on the left side of main page.
- Select the Encode
- Enter the duration of the 1st and 2nd tones.
- Enter the spacing between the tones, referred to as the gap.
The two frequencies shown in the example are used only if you want the ability
to send tones as well.
- Auto Reset Time is the time allowed after the last received transmission
before the Pager is automatically reset. In the example below, 12 seconds of
quiet was selected as the reset time.
