Astro Spectra/MDC Decode

Gocart878 · Post by **Gocart878** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 3:16 pm

Hello, i have a radio setup that i am unsure about how it is exactly working.

i have an Astro Spectra Radio, currently used as a Base Station at our firehouse. it is in the 425mhz range. Our fire dispatch uses MDC-1200 to activate our Siren through the astro.

So, here is what i want.

can i put one MDC ID into the radio to activate the siren on wail,
and put another MDC ID into the radio to make the siren fast wail?
can the astro decode Quik call?

Dunno about different codes activating different functions.

No, the Astros won't decode QC.

Consider using a Cimarron board. They have various setups with aux. relays, though I don't remember offhand if you can specify specific relays by specific IDs.
