Moto Tones in .wav

Post by -Adam »

FYI - Nerd Alert!

Does anyone have the Moto clear to talk tone and the *bonk* tone in a .wave file?

I didn't see it in there. I think he is looking for the audio from emitted from the radio speaker itself for the PTT permit and the busy/deny bonk.

The Nextel PTT is pretty damn close, and different radio models have slightly different pitches. Sorta like the MDC sidetone sounds different on various lines.

PM sent.

Ya I'm looking for the tones that the radio uses as alerts to the user. I was going to take the time to record them myself but thought I'd ask here first.

BTW, cool site. :D

I have the tone layout (tone freqs, and times) for the iden units in the service manuals. Then you make your own then. I have a Minitor alert tone that I load up as a ringtone in to some firefighters Nextels. I'll try to remeber to look up the info and post it.

OK, the PTT talk permit is 1800Hz 2x (24ms on+24ms off) + 48ms on.
reject tone 900Hz 1x500ms on
privet call received 2300Hz 2x(88ms off+ 88ms on)

And IIRC the Minitor tone is 2650Hz for 50ms on 60ms off x?

I posted an almost identical thread to this about a month ago, looking for almost the same tones... hopefully some of you will be nice and send them to me to if I pm you my email... :D

Also, whats a good tone generator application for the above tones?

Try Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/). Click Generate->Tone, and you will be able to input the frequency and duration.

Alright, I got bored...

^ give those a try

DPL described exactly what I did, and I just used the data N7MAQ posted.

Note that I don't work with TRS much, so I'm not familiar with many of these tones... So they might be total crap.

To get Motorola's own distorted and otherwise fairly poor quality recordings of thier tones, go to Google, and search for "xts5000 training ppt".

About five results down, there'll be a PowerPoint presentation file. Open that in PowerPoint, then save it as a web page. When you do that, it'll create a directory containing a ton of images and HTML pages, as well as the .wav files you want.

The 'bonk' sound nearly blew my eardrums out, and sounded more like an airhorn. Wow.

Yeah, it's actually misleading, if you're trying to teach people who have never heard the real radio do it before. On a proper radio it's a nice smooth "booooooop", but not so on their training material.

No standard web pages containing all your search terms were found.

Your search - "xts5000 training ppt" - did not match any documents.
