[Motorola] MT-2000 iii Call-Alert?

[K0DAN]

Hmmmm...Good points.

I'm doing all this from memory (danger, Wil Robinson) but I think the 
conventional models allow receive-only two-tone sequential decoding (ie Call 
Alert).

I don't remember them being able to encode two-tone sequential, even if from 
a list.

Any MDC format is digital (analog modulation on FM carrier), newer than 
two-call sequential, and is technically not "Call Alert", however I'm pretty 
suure MDC decode was possible in these radios, and MDC encoding was 
possible, but only from a pre-programmed list (via RSS), not keypad.

If you have a group of MT2000's I think it's possible to have them 
selectively signal each other. If you want to have it radio-to-radio, you'll 
be better to pursue MDC signalling, as traditional "Call Alert" is too 
archaic for your application.

Good luck!

This is a non-trunked version.  It looks like RSS will allow receive
Call-Alert but not transmit Call-Alert in this model.  I think that Call
Alert can be MDC-1200 format or DTMF...   I was hoping to use MDC-1200
or anything else in these radios for Call-Alert, e.g, paging one radio
from a list in another alike radio.

Another fun thing is MT-2000 RSS is DOS.

Thanks

"Call Alert" as in "two tone sequential" signalling (ie "paging") or
trunking's digital equivalent?

I believe the conventional menu of all MT2000's offer standard "old
style"
paging, such as what's still used for fire alerting, etc. This is
typically
1 sec + 3 sec audible tones (sometimes duration shortened), plus longer
duration single-tones usually used for all-call.

The key question is if the radio's being used in conventional/analog
modes, or trunking. If conventional/analog, then radio & RSS probably
support "Call Alert". If trunking, then chances are the signalling is a
digital word on the control channel, and you probably need to have a
trunking-capable radio to enable that feature (and it may need to be
enabled in the central controller).

I didn't look up your specific model, so can't help you that far.

Good luck.

Some, not all, MT-2000 models are capable of trunking.

Yes, it's capable of full Smartnet/Smartzone features including CA/PC,
Emergency, Status/Message, etc. Read one up and go through the RSS...
