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.
