Vertex alert dropping out

Post by No More Saddam »

Why would a Vertex radio receive a tone sound the alert then not reset? I have also had problems with the radio being set to the page out channel just to have all the traffic being past through in lieu of it being muted until the tones are set off. What could be causing this?

:beer: Most likely the programming. I sounds as if it set to manual reset with one of the soft keys. Programming paging is tricky. I screwed up my chiefs radio twice. Now that I figured it out, he loves it. We are switching to vx 180's for paging.

Seem to be more reliable.

I know this post is old, but the radio will just passes all traffic through and will not sit on tone alert. I do notice that a small . is present on the display. I am only around this radio once a week and I do not have any programming software for this radio. I would consider getting everything I need to fix this if feasable. I hate having the thing pass all radio traffic and not setting off the tones to where I need to rely on a Keynote pager that may or may not work. Anyone have suggestions?

What type of vertex is it??
On duty off duty may be an issue. The 820/920 are trickey to set up to decode.
