We do that on our VHF and UHF systems- We have a two-tone page sequence in a macro and users with moto, kenwood, etc radios, and I suppose if you had a pager, can program the QuickCall into their radios. We use it for alerting when skywarn activity takes place. I leave a GP-300 on the counter at home set to a channel with that programmed so the wife does not have to listen to regular chitter-chatter, but when we start spotting activities the tone sequence makes the radio beep and opens up the reciever for her to hear what's going on. When it's over she pushes the little gray button and it resets the radio back to standby until the next page. I would assume the right pager can be programmed that way too. We use S-com 7K controllers and its simple to set up- pick two frequencies and durations and program away! Tom W9SRV

It will also be an open repeater when not in use for emergency communications. What I need to know and can have some help on is the following, Does anyone out there that is using their repeater to support emergency operations, have it setup to also send out a page to pagers that emergency operators may have. Here is what we want to do, we wish to obtain some 2 meter voice pagers, Minitors or similar, like those used by most volunteer fire departments, and set them to receive on the same frequency as our repeater, when they receive a proper 2 tone signal from the repeater. We wish to do this so that we do not have to obtain a seperate frequency just for our pagers, plus some members are not hams, but they would be able to monitor communications during a disaster. I have been told that we can reset such pagers to work on the frequency that we have been coordinated. We are interested in having such a setup, but need to know if anyone else is doing it? If so, how are you sending the tones for the pager and such. If someone has a "white" paper on their setup or a detailed 'instruction manual' on your setup and how you designed and operate it, that would be great. In fact if someone has that and is willing, we would like to use it to publish a story on our ARES site, about such group that is using it and that we are trying to add it to our system Yahoo!
