<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:14pt">Does the TYT do 2 Tone or 2 Tone DTMF? Our FD<br>does 2 tone but only two single tone frequencies. <br>I imagine that most fire paging consists of a combination<br>of single tones at different frequencies. I remember when <br>I was a volunteer fireman that I only had a pager. And it <br>received the two single tone multi frequency tones depending upon<br>what station was signaling. I guess you would call this STMF toning. <br>I'm pretty sure my Anytone AT-5888UV when doing 2 or 5 tone signaling<br>uses DTMF tones for both encode and decode. And that's not going to<br>work unless the public service entity also used DTMF signaling. <br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">

<div>Thanks Jim, that did the trick. I did figure out
what "tuning step" meant around 3am, but didn't want
to write back and admit that I was still up and
obsessing over it :) I'm glad I went to bed.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I have all my channels configured now, except for the
"page" channel on the Icom that I wish to emulate in
the Baofeng. In the Icom, the channel is muted until
it receives a 2-tone page signal. I can see how it is
set up in the Icom CS-F14 program, but I'm not finding
any functionality like that in CHIRP. When I click on
"Settings" in CHIRP, I only get a blank field. Can I
do this in CHIRP? I see nothing in the wiki about
functions like this.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
And, perhaps similarly, in CS-F14 under Common>Set
Mode there is a squelch value variable that has been
set to 125. Is that something I need to set in the
UV-B5?<br clear="none">

Thanks much! Doug<br clear="none">

<div class="yiv4267991943gmail_extra">CHIRP will program a great number of
brands and models of radios. Each type or radio (or family of
radios) needs a specific driver that matches up to that
radio's capabilities. CHIRP cannot make a radio do something
that is isn't capable of doing. In this case, the UV-B5 (or
any of the Chinese radios that I am familiar with) are not
capable of decoding a 2-tone page signal. So you won't see
that functionality for the UV-B5 in CHIRP.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
</div>
<div class="yiv4267991943gmail_extra">You will only be able to use a CTCSS
tone or a DTCS code for selective squelch operations. But be
careful setting up a receive tone or code. If you don't know
how to do it properly, your settings could wind up programming
a channel that will never hear anything. Having no Rx CTCSS
tone or Rx DTCS code always work (but you may hear other
station on the channel that you may not want to).<br clear="none">
