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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

In certain Switch Output applications a separate 2-Tone Turn-
