Batboard

Hi Folks Im new to the board
Im trying to progam 2 radios actually but lets start with the XTS2500
the normal programming is cake (freq, PL) is easy using astro software R 15
but (And trust me I have searched this till i was blue in the face) I want my portable to act as a pager for my fire dept. reason being I dont want to carry my portable and a Minitor V. So I want to combine them I have heard of people doing this with HT1000's and such. But I cant see were to Input the "Tone"?
For those not understanding what I actually want:
ie. My county uses one frequnecy to tone out 50 or so depts. So on that 1 freq. they send out a "tone" which if your pager was not on open PL your pager would then goto open PL when your dept was toned out. along with a "Beep Beep Beep" or something along those lines. Thats what I want my portable to do.

Hopefully I described it kinda correct :-/

Also I has tried inputting the "tones" into the PL spot, But the "tone" is not an option to choose from.

I appreciate any and all Help Thank You

You are most likely looking for the QCII tone format, certainly not the PL tone. Enter the QCII tones and then set the signalling type as QCII.

Yes QCII tones I have the tones just dont understand how to input them... I see the Quick Call II Menu int he programming but Im pretty confused LOL
