Can anyone help?

I would like to input the Motorola tone codes and/or coinciding tone values and have the computer generate the 2 sequential tones.

I know this is fairly simple but I can't find any software out there that makes it easy to do it.

Thanks in advance!

do a search on the board for wintone or cmtone -- These have been discussed before.

Personally I use Cool-Edit

Allows you to generate any tone of any lenght by entering it's frequency in Hz. You can then save them as .WAV or even MP3 files.

Can they be used to generate tones for broadcast?

I too use CoolEdit.

I've used it to test pagers and what not that I was servicing, and it worked fine.

It's also what I've used to make alert tones and such on my computer..

It's a shareware program, but, you can still save and generate tones if it's not registered.


Happy Halowe'en All!

I just downloaded Cool-Edit now...I'm going to give it a shot...


Thank you all!!

Let us know how it works. I have the CD shareware disk but never installed it, did not want to kill my pgm cmptr.

Cool edit is very good... It can also create Quick Call 1 tones for those who still use it.... plus analyze existing tone frequencies on virtually any saved audio file format.

Cool Edit 96 has been cracked. Do a search for it on the Web and you'll find registration info.

for those interested I put together a small program that will take the 4 didgit quick call 2 tone and generate the the audio for you.

Its a bit more simple then some of these other ways.

you can download it at http://www.ittechs4u.com/Encoder

your program is not working on my pc it says installation error, can i use xp or does it need to be something else. ???

Gocart878,

I posted a Private Message to you w/ my Email address and some questions.

The program works fine in XP and I just uninstalled it and redownloaded it from the website and it installed fine.

So I am really interested in finding out where your problem lies.

Thanks.

Our A Tone is a non-standard 1395.0hz. The hex is 088A. It will not accept this code. Can it do it or am I SOL?

nmfire10,

I have sent you an email. If you dont get it please post a message here.

In MS-DOS 5.0 or earlier you can get into basic and generate audio tones.

In BASIC type

10 SOUND<audio frequency>, <duration> for tone A.
20 SOUND<audio frequency>, <duration> for tone B.
run or F2

Here's an example:

10 Sound 321.7,20
20 Sound 569.1,25

then RUN.

In my teenage years, I would tap the audio from the small speaker of a Compaq laptop and feed it into a rusty EICO signal generator. It worked flawlessly in those days. Thank GOD for the R-2400

Good luck,

NCH TONE GENERATOR WORKS GOOD,UNFORTUNATLY IT DON'T DO QCII( 2 TONE)

For those interesed I sent nmfire10 a custom patch to my program for his non-standard tones and this was his replay:

Yep, it's working. I just put them in it and it sure sounds like our tones. I'm going
to test it with a pager later on or tommorow.

Thanks!

Runs fine for me, but I can't find a "4-digit" chart. All the ones I see are for 3-digit.

The way that it works is that the 4 digit number is made up for 2 parts which gives us two 3 didgit codes/tones.

The 1st 3 didgits are the 1st code/tone and the 1st 2 didgits plus the last one give us the second code/tone.

for exampe: 1234 would equal 123 and 124
