QCII Discrepancies

Another question:
I was playing around with the ht1000 rss today and started looking at the QCII settings. All of our Minitor 2 pagers have tone frequencies of 701.0 and 1669.0. Why on the ht1000 can I only select 697.5 and 707.3, but not 701? I have Motorola "permacode active filters" that say 701.0Hz in our pagers. I would have thought that the tone frequencies would have been standardized, especially since they are both Motorola. I assume that picking 697.5 on the ht1000 will get me close enough to make it decode reliably....

WTF?

Thanks for all of the good knowledge here!

Enter the tone freq as it appears on the permacode or vibrasponder. The RSS will correct it to what the radio can do. It will be within the accepted tolerance for that code, and will work.

This is normal for modern radios that have programmable tone decoders. Nothing to worry about, normal with the modern radios.

On many radio, if you enter four-digit format, it will accept what you use such as 0735.8

The tones were standardized....depending on whose format you use. Your tone frequencies are Plectron tones, and the older Mot portables only accepted Motorola standard frequencies. But if the Mot frequencies are within 1.5% or so of your Plectron tone frequencies, everything should work OK as someone has already mentioned.
