ptt tones?

[ASW7]

I have 3 x gp388 radios, i have the software so i can do all the basic things like change frequencies but thats about it, what i am wanting to do is have a tone after the ptt is released a bit like what airports have on there radios, has anybody got any advice on how i could achieve this? im sorry if it sounds a little odd, i think its somet to do with selcall but not sure, any help be grateful

thanks

Its called ptt dekey in the software.

To send a selcall on dekey - go to per perosnality, ptt, and you will see a check box towards the botom of the screen - ' ptt dekey encode'. That will send which ever telegram you want at the end.

Also make sure the select 5 sidetone is checked (its in per personality, s5 encode tab). Its a bit loud on the default settings, so go to alerts, and turn it down - Ive got mine set to -90 and its ok.

Brill, thanks for that, worked exactly as you side, this may sound daft but is it possible to change the tone it makes? nevermind if not as its doing just as i needed so thanks for the help

Yes, it is only sending a selcall tone.

At the bottom of the options tree (on the left hand side) there should be select 5 signalling definition or something like that - change the tone type from zvei or whatever its set to, to EEA.

that will change the 'language' the tone is sent. If you want to change the actual tones sent, then go to the select 5 encode, and change the number of the tone sent.
