QC II to unmute a channel?

[Fuel4300]

Is there way to program a QC II capable portatble to have a muted channel until activated by the two tones in much the same was a Minitor pager works?

My campus first aid squad shares a channel with Building Services (maintaince) during the day and its annoying listening to who is eating lunch when or whose toilet is leaking...

We use primarily HT1000's and have a couple SP50's and I use an MT2000, all vhf.

Thanks,
Mike

Yes, this is in the programming software for the HT 1000. I am not sure about the others

HT1000's can do this. You would have a channel that is "alert" and a channel that is "normal". The MT2000 would need to have QC-II flashed to it if it doesn't already.

I have it set up on my HT750. Normal channels 1-15 then the QCII channel only on 16. Pretty much a pager and a radio in one, if need be.

What you're looking for, if I recall correctly, is to set the selectable muting to AND, which will require both PL and signalling (i.e. QCII) to go off before the radio will unmute.

basically, you need to set up the recieve pl to one of the QC2 settings. Put in the appropriate tones. you will have to change the unmute settings (on ht1000 rss, this is on the additional options for each channel) you will have to change it to unmute for the tones and and t/dpl you may be using. you might be able to set up the radio by using the monitor button. set it for silent sticky monitor, then put the radio in monitor mode to use the channel as a regular channel, press again to take off monitor and return to requiring both qc2 and pl to unmute.

does this make sense? my brain is quitting...

let us know how it goes.

I learned a valued lesson from a SP50, u can program a QCII decode tone over and over and over but it wont work without the tone decode board...lol... IDIOT ME!

I will give it a try over winter break.
