2-T ONE D ECODE (R ECEIVE ) S ETTINGS .........................................
2-Tone decode can be used to selectively call the
Callbox in a system where multiple radios operate on a
single frequency. Alternatively, 2-Tone decode can also
be used to operate the Switch Output built into every
Callbox.
When the radio is programmed for 2-Tone Paging
decode, no call will be heard unless the 2-tone code has
been successfully decoded or the ON/PTT button has
been pressed. After decoding, normal 2-way
conversation is possible without the need for the 2-tone
code. 2-Tone Paging Decode is automatically reset
when the RQX Reset Time expires.
When the Callbox is programmed for Switch Output or
Listen In operation with 2-Tone decode, regular voice
communication is unaffected by the 2-tone code. If a
Switch Output Option is selected that uses 2-tone
decode it cannot be used for 2-Tone Paging Decode.
NOTICE
When the callbox is programmed for 2-Tone Decode
operation, it is recommended that you do NOT use QC
Tone Codes greater than “23” (146.2 Hz).
2-Tone Table #........................... (PC or FP)
The OUTPOST® Callbox comes equipped with 9 pre-
determined 2-Tone codes that correspond to table codes
that certain RITRON portable and base radios can send.
Use of the 2-Tone Table codes allows programming
without the need for the PC programmer.
1st Tone decoded for 1 sec. .............. (PC)
You can custom program the 1
st
tone of the 2-tone code
to any frequency between 300-1500 Hz. The 1st tone
must be decoded for the programmed period of time
before the radio looks for the 2nd tone. The factory
setting for decode time is 1 second.
2nd Tone decoded for 1 sec. ............. (PC)
You can custom program the 2nd tone of the 2-tone code
to any frequency between 300-1500 Hz.The 2nd tone
must be decoded for the programmed period of time after
the 1st tone has been decoded. The factory setting for
decode time is 1 second.
All Call decoded for 4 sec. ................ (PC)
With 2-Tone All Call enabled you can custom program an
All Call tone to any frequency between 300-1500 Hz. The
All Call tone must be decoded for the programmed
period of time. All Call is not enabled as received from
the factory.
Ring Tone Enable................................(PC)
With this feature enabled the Callbox will sound a ring
signal in the speaker, similar to a telephone ring, any
time the 2-Tone code, Group Call or All Call code is
decoded. Ring Tone is enabled from the factory.
2-Tone Transpond ...............................(PC)
2-Tone Transpond transmits a tone after the 2-Tone
code, Group Call or All Call code has been received to
alert the calling radio that the 2-Tone code was
successfully decoded. 2-Tone Transpond is enabled
from the factory.
2-Tone Group Call...............................(PC)
When this option is set, 2-tone decode is achieved if the
radio receives the 1st tone for the programmed All Call
time. If this option is selected the All Call time must be
longer than the 1st Tone time or the Callbox will always
decode on the 1st tone, ignoring the 2nd tone altogether.
Group Call is not enabled as received from the factory.
2-Tone Monitor Trip ............................(PC)
With this option selected the Callbox will be in carrier
squelch mode any time the 2-Tone code is decoded,
regardless of any QC or DQC code programmed in the
radio. The radio reverts back to QC or DQC tone decode
if the ON/PTT button is pressed and reverts back to 2-
tone decode after the RQX Reset Time has expired. 2-
Tone Monitor Trip is not enabled from the factory.
2-Tone Decode with Subtone ...............(PC)
With 2-Tone Decode with Subtone enabled, the Callbox
will not decode 2-Tone codes unless the correct subtone
is also present. 2-Tone Decode with Subtone is not
enabled from the factory.
Turn-Off Code.....................................(PC)
In certain Switch Output applications a separate 2-Tone
Turn-Off Code is required. This code can not be the
same as the 2-Tone Decode Code.
Listen In Ring Tone Enable..................(PC)
With this feature enabled the Callbox will sound a ring
signal in the speaker, similar to a telephone ring, any
time the 2-Tone Listen In code is decoded. Listen In
Ring Tone is not enabled from the factory.
