HT1250 Programming Questions

[HarrisonRHW]

Couple of quick programming questions:

I am trying to program a unit to have a page mode (has stored voice board). I set up a channel, set it to Rx only, and using the programmed Quick-Call system with AND un-muting. Here are the questions:

1. Right now I set the unit to A-B\Long B because the tones used are only long ones. Is there an easier way to do this? The tone is 1175hz, so I just threw a random number in the A and 1175 in the B tone

2. How do I set stored voice to automatically start recording the message? Will it stop automatically? How long is the period before recording stops if the transmitting unit has not re-keyed and started transmitting.

3. I have seen units that use the emergency button as a reset like the monitor (open squelch) button on minitors. What does the button have to be programmed to in order to act as a reset in the paging mode?

Thanks

I'm looking to do the same thing. Our long tone freq is 2750 Hz (that's what I think it is anyway) but do I use the same DPL for the rx only channel and what do I put in for the code for the 2750 hz?

just set it to A/B and put the single tone in both so they are the same. and leave AND for the squelch rule. i use the same setup for 1050hz on the weather alert and it works great.

Program the orange button (or any button for that matter) for "Monitor" and then it functions like a monitor / reset button found on the pagers.

I was looking to do roughly the same thing on a ht1250. I could be at anyone of 7 stations, and if I'm reading the software right, I can only put in for 4 sets of tones. Am I reading it right?

I just thougt of this, they all use the same "B" tone, and one of the stations is the revese tone of another. Is there a way to make it alert off of the "B" tone, and then create another system for the rouge station?
