Single Tone Activation via Eemergency Button on XTS5K

Post by WCHija »

I am trying to find a way to have the emergency button initiate an 1800hz single tone on a 5k. My Mom works in a park with no ranger on site and no dispatcher. They use the single tone to alert the dispatcher to come up on their channel and ask who is having an emergency where (not sure how practical that is). I looked in CPS 11 and could not figure it out. Suggestions?

Well, digging through the CPS help file...

Set up the conventional personality for that channel with a RAC, manual, with RAC 1 being singletone, and set the emergency button up to be the RAC 1 button.

Give it a shot, maybe it'll work?

Radio Config > Controls > Buttons > Top Button.

If your radio has old firmware, programming it with the latest CPS will not add any new features unless you have the latest firmware to match..

CPS = Customer Programming Software, Not CPS Software.
