Minitor V programming question (ON/OFF duty)
Posted: Wed Sep 09, 2009 7:40 am
I am trying to set up my pager with 3 sets of tones. I have my home dept that I would like to have in the OFF duty position (call1). For ON duty I would like our neighboring depts tones (call 2 & 3). We are auto mutual aid 6am to 6PM but dispatch seems to forget to stack tone us. Since I work in their district this would be a handy feature.
My question comes down to the following.......
Is there a way to be ON duty and still monitor the frequency. I know I could do this if I sacrifice my second channel and use CH1 for OFF and CH2 for ON. I would really like to keep the ability to monitor our secondary channel. The ON/OFF selection is grayed out on the function switch tab if you set it to monitor or Pri scan.
Settings now are as follows. I only have my home dept tones programmed at this point.
A: Select call F1 (Vib + Tone)
B: Monitor F1 (Vib + Tone)
C: Select call F1 (Vib)
D: Pri scan F1 (Vib + Tone)
Here is what I would like.
A: Select call F1 (Vib + Tone) OFF Duty
B: Monitor F1 (Vib + Tone) OFF Duty
C: Select Call F1 (Vib + Tone) ON Duty
D: Priority Scan F1 (vib + Tone) On Duty
Thanks
