Chris, In my area the local Fire and EMS departments are a long way from the 911 center. As a result they use UHF link transmitters to send
The two-tone page to the local base at the departments location and it is re-broadcast on their local frequency. There are a few departments that receive their pages via a local VHF Public Safety repeater in their area. So set up a base station capable of generating the two-tone signal and use it to send the page out thru your local 2M machine. The only caution would be to ensure the Signal does not get compressed or rolled off by the repeater. Around here we use 3khz for tone levels... Hope this helps.

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.
