Batboard

Does anyone have any ideas on changing the actual audio alert tone on a Minitor II from the steady tone to the intermittent tone. Presently the All Call is the steady and the Private Page is the intermittent tone. I would like to switch these around. I am a Relm/BK/Vertex dealer and do not have much experince with the Minitor II. If test equipment is a must that is no problem. Also the model number of the pager is H03UMC1222AC. I have been watching this board for quite some time and I think it is a wonderful thing to have so much experience and tech knowledge so easily accessible. Any ideas or comments would be appreciated.

The A-B sequence produces the intermittent tone and A-C is the steady tone. The active filters run A to C from the back of the MII to the front. All you should need to do (in a standard setup) is switch the B and C active filters.

If I understand what you are asking correctly is can you change the long alert tone which is produced by what is known as a long tone or group call (aka Long C or the 8 second tone) to the intermit beep, beep, beep tone which lasts the length of the B tone in a QC II setup (aka A tone is one second, B tone is 3 seconds.)

The simple answer is NO.

This was set=up this way by Motorola for that exact purpose. So that people will know the difference between a group or private tone page.

We run long tone C or Long tone B however you look at it for our ambulance, and run two-tone (one sec/three sec) for the first responders. That way a first responding EMT who is not on call for ambulance will know when the responders are paged and should listen up.

Sorry another Motorola set-up which will always be that way on a MII.

To summarize the above two posts:

If you have a 2-tone sequence, then rearrangement can be done to obtain your goal.

If it is a single, long tone approx. 6seconds or greater, then no, you cannot.

Thanks guys for all the input. I figured it would be a pain, but it never hurts to ask.
