2 single tones, one after the other. Like 459.3 and 829.6 Also it
will do the group call using a 3rd long tone.<br>
<br>
This group call with a long tone of 1050 works great on the
weather channels. That way you can leave the radio on at night,
and still get alerted if the weather service issues an advisory.
Note, when you are on the weather channel, it will not receive
anything else.<br>
<br>
I don't think it does DTMF decode.<br>

I'm pretty sure my Anytone AT-5888UV when doing 2 or 5 tone

uses DTMF tones for both encode and decode. And that's not

<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

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">

<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">

<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">
