I am curious if there will ever be any future way to link two tone detect pages to the cadpage app? Please let me know, thanks.

Hi Kyle,
I am not quite sure what you are expecting. Listening for tones on a
dispatch radio channel is not possible. The hardware to do that just is
not included in your Android device. An interface with a portable radio
pager has been considered, and might work if the radio has a USB or
Bluetooth interface. Listening for tones on an Internet feed of your
dispatch channel would certainly be possible. But without any digital
dispatch information, we could not identify or map the location. So I
am not sure what purpose that would server.
Have a nice day,
-Kn

Well I suppose I should elaborate more on the question. Two tone detect is a program that runs on a pc, listens to the line in audio feed which a scanner plugs into and monitors a specific dispatch frequency. The two tone detect program is configured to start recording when a specific two tone parameter is met, and then can email the audio files to an email address of your choice. Why I'm asking is of cad page has the ability to receive an email with an audio file attached and show it as an alert on the app. Does this make any sense?

Hi Kyle,
OK, that makes more sense. I have seen those audio packets before, just
did not associate them with the "Two Tone Detect" name. It is a rather
clever solution to dispatch centers that can not or will not provide a
digital page alert.
Unfortunately, there is not much we can do with it. We have enough
problems trying to handle free format text messages. To handle an audio
alert we would have to run it through a speech to text analyzer, then
process what comes out as a free format alert. It would be a lot of
work and the final results would not be terribly reliable.
Getting your dispatch center to provide some kind of digital feed is a
much better option. You might try contacting CodeMessaging.net and see
what they can do. The one thing they do better than anyone else is find
ways to intercept digital dispatch feeds.
Good luck,
-Ken
