Do you have just the box unit or also the programming attachment? It has a keypad and display on it.I know we have one to program them,never done it myself though.We have used them as Plectron replacement for station sirens, door openers via DTMF keypads and other stuff.Nice sturdy units.The software is free on the website below.
They are nice folks at Veetronix, give them a call and maybe they can point you to someone with the programming attachment.

I have never heard of the Veetronix alert receiver and I've been around the fire and ems radio business since 1969.
In 30 seconds of looking on the net, I found their website, product info, owners manual, accessories, and free programming software.
I see that the contact info has been posted for you. Now you know.

Your department is a good place to start, if you belong to one.
Failing that, you might check radioreference.com - they have an extensive database which includes fire and ems tone info for many areas of the country.

If you are with Valley Stream in Nassau County I have most of your tone infos on file here. In fact I have quite a few of your pagers too! 
We also have the program head for the units up to 2007 models

I didn't know this about Veetronix, no wonder it works so well!
Mr. Wycoff and Mr. Collins parted as co-owners of Plectron about 1961 and Mr. Wycoff left to open Reach Electronics in nearby Lexington, Nebraska. It became a very successful company and it is still operating in Lexington under the name Veetronics

That sheds a different light on the subject! We had Plectron 500's when I got in the EMS business in 1972. They worked well, but with our call volumes, everyone wanted to go to Minitor I's. I later sold the Plectrons to a tiny ambulance squad out in the country. Nearly 20 years later, I moved to that town and joined the squad. Most of those Plectrons were still in service and I soon had the opportunity of selling them again!

Nice!
Just did a bid on 4 Veetronix to use to open Quarry Gates remotely via VHF from a guardhouse and 3 trucks with DTMF. Owner wants to do the same to his Truck yard after he gets his new fence and gates installed.
