Don't take this the wrong way... but if you can't figure out your agency's QCII Tone... you don't need to be the one programming the pagers!





Seriously, talk to a radio shop and figure out what the tone is. Or if you have a radio with QCII capability setup, read the radio and get the tones.

Pimp's right, you need to do some learning before you start pumping data into a pager.


Here's a website that has a fairly decent description of QC-II paging. I recommend that you study this and then do some searching on the net for more info on paging and pagers in general. Two-tone Paging


Good places to listen and learn are radioreference.com and batboard.batlabs.com. On both sites, I strongly suggest that you search and read and read some more. The details about paging and tone codes are already there for the finding.

I agree with Steve, I am a member Radioreference.com and it is a great site, just post your question in the motorola forum.


Tell me the county and agency you are trying to get the tone for and I may be able to find it.
