- Simulation of a Individual station pager test in Somerset County, PA.
Transmitted over GMRS, tones encoded by a Zetron Model 25. Motorola Quik-Call II is for All pagers and a siren, Motorola Quik-Call (2+2 Paging) is for all other Siren Activations.
Reminds me of station 51
Really cool to hear this. Brings back memories of Rowan County NC when they used QC1. Only thing with them was their station and siren tones were the same code, just the latter had a PK code in it. Eg 71 had QCII tone CF, and their siren was CPFK. 54(my old dept) was EN/EPKN, etc.
I filled out the radio reference wiki with all the tones of you check that out.
Either way, awesome vid and good to hear the old QCI stuff
Quik-Call is my favorite paging format, my county still has 3 stations that use it. I’m also trying to convert the receiver to VHF so my station can have QC-1 Again. I own many paging encoders that do QC-1. I’ll have to check your list out, my stations code was FA/GA for pagers and FAPA/KAGA for siren, I have all kinds of information on QC-1. For the most part the pager codes were the QC-II variant of the siren tones in my county with a few exceptions
@@QuikCall4623 oh cool!! I had a feeling it was tone group A. Rowan uses tone group Z
@@THEFINALHAZARD yeah most QC-I systems were Series Z but I like how Series A Sounds better cause that’s what I was used to hearing in my county before I watched the Show Energency! I have 5 of the original Quik-Call Encoders
If you could get me a link to those tones I’d greatly appreciate it I’m working on documenting some of the Quik-Call systems that were out there
This might not be the best place to ask but I’ve always wondered what’s the advantage of a pager vs a 2 way radio? Just that it’s smaller?
More cost effective, lighter weight, a pager is designed better for alerting, and it keeps malicious transmissions from being made by non-chief officers
Ok, thanks. I guess I somehow didn't think of cost and forgot that most public safety portables are over $1000@@QuikCall4623
So you are saying chief officers are immune from malicious transmissions? RIGHT!@@QuikCall4623
You should do a simulation of a Westmoreland test back when they had all the old 2+2 tones years ago
I have a list of the Quik-Call tones, I believe station 39 still uses them. I believe Westmoreland used the group call test function, so I’ll get a video when I can for you
@@QuikCall4623 hi sir how many fire stations dose the county have just want to know
@@johancoetzee1225 as of today my county has 27 Fire Stations and 9 EMS Stations
@@QuikCall4623 very cool great i am a volunteer in South Africa fire and rescue services based in cape town at the moment have been a volunteer since 2001
@@johancoetzee1225 Awesome! The volunteer fire service is struggling nowadays, thank you for your service!
Bro there’s a 1003 in Somerset along with a 3V8 in Somerset that u HAVE to record
The 1003s have been decommissioned for years and the 3V8s are on top of prisons
Ah
I didn't hear a house siren
It was a demonstration over a GMRS frequency, showing what Somerset County sounded like a few years ago. This wasn't broadcasted over the actual dispatch frequency.
When do they do the pager test is it weekly?
It wasn’t a real test. It was simulated on my Zetron model 25. Somerset quit testing in 2018

I’m assuming you are familiar with Somerset County Stations 610, 611, 614, and 616?
Some of those tones creepy af
What’s creepy about them? Lol
@@QuikCall4623the creepy ones such as 0:40
@@therailcat9790ah the classic Quik-Call tones, they are my favorite. I don’t think they sound creepy. But they are the tones that set the sirens off.
