.....................................
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 de-
code, 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 conver-
sation 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
operation with 2-Tone decode, regular voice commu-
nication is unaffected by the 2-tone code. If the Switch
Output Option uses 2-tone decode it cannot be used
for 2-Tone Paging Decode.
2-Tone Table #
The OUTPOST™ Calbox 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 pro-
gramming without the need for the PC programmer.
1st Tone decoded for 1 sec.
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.
2nd Tone decoded for 1 sec.
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.
All Call decoded for 1 sec.
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 pro-
grammed period of time.
Ring Tone Enable
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.
2-Tone Transpond
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 suc-
cessfully decoded.
2-Tone Group Call
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.
2-Tone Monitor Trip
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 tone code decode
if the ON/PTT button is pressed and reverts back to
2-tone decode after the RQX Reset Time has expired.
Turn-Off Code
In certain Switch Output applications a separate 2-
tone turn-off code is required. This code can not be
the same as the 2-Tone Code

ROGRAMMING
..............................
The XT OUTPOST™ can be PC programmed to
operate as a two-way intercom. When operating as an
intercom the Automatic Turn-Off is disabled and the
radio will remain on in a “stand-by” mode, allowing it
to receive a call from another radio at any time. The
higher current requirements of Intercom operation
make it undesirable in battery powered installations.
Required Programming:
Automatic Turn-Off
This must be disabled for the Callbox to remain turned
on at all times.
Optional Programming:
Battery Saver
Battery Saver can be used to reduce battery drain on
a battery powered installation. With Battery Saver
activated, the Callbox will periodically “wake-up” and
listen for a received signal before returning to a low
current “sleep” state. The time between “wake-up’
states can be PC programmed between 0.5 - 8 sec-
onds. A longer time between “Wake-up” states will re-
sult in increased battery life.
Busy Channel TX Inhibit
This will not allow you to transmit when another user is
already transmitting on your radio frequency, even if
they are using a different tone code. The radio will
beep a series of long, low tones while the ON/PTT
button is held down (like a busy signal). When the
Callbox is programmed for 2-Tone paging Decode,
or is used in a system with multiple QC or DQC codes,
this prevents the Callbox from interfering with other
users on the radio channel.
