We have selected a standard tone that will be used on the 800MHz system as a “pre-alert” to any fire or EMS dispatch. The normal tones used for pager or station alerting will continue to be broadcast on VHF / UHF. This tone will be transmitted simultaneously on 800MHz to alert users to the following dispatch announcement. Most tones used for fire alerting on VHF / UHF do not reproduce properly on digital 800MHz. This tone was selected to “fill the air” while the dispatcher is transmitting tones on VHF / UHF and to alert responders on 800MHz. It will be heard on main fire dispatch talkgroup. It can optionally be heard on the law enforcement talkgroups, if simulcasted, depending on dispatch center policy.
