Weather alert tones and QCII

EMS Geek · Post by **EMS Geek** » Mon Jan 07, 2002 4:15 pm

Hi,
Does anyone know what the alert tone frequencies are for the weather alerts and is it possible to program them as a quick call alert?

I am under the impression they are a multitone burst as opposed to individual tones, but I just can't seem to find the info.

Thanks, Eric

I have a HT1000 and a GM300 set up to decode the wx alert tones, and did as suggested with a long tone B with success. The freq is 1050.0.

Sorry I never got back to you Eric! Hope those links helped! years ago, we would get some dead spots in Oklahoma,Texas, Kansas, Bob Grove wrote an article, if you want to pick up a Lightning storm. Use a AM transistor radio (tuned btw. two stations) It would pick up Lightning up too 100 miles away+! There's still some dead spots out there!

The tone of 1050 hz is used here in Canada
When we take a HT1000 etc we set the side button for a single tone and it works ok
to set off the weather alert radio.Get
device in the bush on a search with 50
people with the pocket weather radio to call them with up dates.Very cheap.

1050 Hz set up with a QCII "long-B" tone.

Will that work for the Keynote pagers too?
That would be a great way for our Emergency Cooridinators to recieve WX messages without us needing to relay them.

Yea it should work , the tones reeds in the Minitor have a bit more leeway than the keynote but it should work fine, I have 2 set up on WX w/ alert
