I am looking for something to replace our old setup for fire station alerting decoding tones broadcast on a VHF radio system. I have a relay setup to turn on station lights and feed the audio into a PA system.
Originally I wanted to look at the Motorola Amplified charger and use the aux connector for audio out and contact closure, but am having an issue with a delay in the relay, see http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.p ... 02&start=0
I thought about purchasing a radio such as the Motorola CDM 700 or CDM1250 but I don't need the ability to transmit.
Then I went to the Federal Signal Informer - but found that this is available in either WB or NB and it can not be software converted. For me, this means I would have to devote more money next year when our system narrows. I do not really want to consider the Informer for this reason.
Sooooo my fellow radio techs - what other products can you recommend to accomplish receive only, two tone decode with line level audio out and contact closure for relay operation?
Amplified Charger, Federal Informer, what else?

http://www.veetronix.com/index_Alert.htm should do it. Their website links fail, so here is the manual: http://www.veetronix.com/Web%20alert%20man.pdf
