Zetron Model 15 paging encoder
I'm looking to get one of these for my Firehouse as a backup to dispatch. What I can not find is a damn manual anywhere for this thing. I like to get the manual and read up on exactly what it can do and how before I buy it. Anyone have a PDF manual or know where it is archived. I can't find it on Zetron's site or anywhere else online.
While I'm on the subject of this device... anyone ever use one? Likes? Dislikes?
Thanks!!

Hell, if anyone knows any OTHER options to use that are similar to the Zetron, I'm open to anything. I just want to be able to use our firehouse as a backup dispatch. If anyone has a Model 4010 for around $300, give me a shout

The M15 is a good little unit, especially if you need to do multiple formats. Maybe a little overkill if you only want to do 2-tone. A Model 5 Zetron would be better if you only need 2-tone. These units are front panel programmable and fairly easy to use. If you do need to use multiple formats, the entry string is different. The first digit is the format, then the capcode, then the message.
Unfortunately, we don't use the standard tone sets, at least I don't think. The Model 5 does not allow for custom tones.

B) 1036
C) 979.9
I'm not sure off hand what the other two depts use.

For custom tones in a model 5 you need to order the unit directly from the company. THey will pick a group and place the custom tones in place of original motorola tones and send you a code sheet.
My dept has one with the Z series tone 2 being changed to 1985.0 to hit the old alert monitor boxes.

Re: Zetron Model 15 paging encoder
Although this is an old post - I found a model 15A. Zetron very nicely gave me a 15B and 15P manual which does not match close. Zetron claims that is the oldest in their archive. I just need this to wire in to our backup for the backup unit. Any chance someone has a 15A manual to share?

so we could move on into the present and when asked it was as if it was impossible
for them and to them it was unthinkable. They would only support the programming
software to run on ancient DOS. Never had any good dealings with the support staff
since whenever we asked them for something it was like pulling teeth!

Re: Zetron Model 15 paging encoder
Do you still have that 15P programming manual? I bought a 15P off eBay and can't find the programming manual now... AND to top it all off, after I get it programmed, I have to make a cable to connect to a Kenwood TK-790 radio... But first, programming!
