I don't see how anything in your replies is helpful.
- They are definitely tone frames. Tones run through the vocoder
are irrelevant and OP25 would handle them just fine anyway.
- Why should the user seek other solutions? The system is sending
IMBE tone frames and any decoder thrown at it should handle it.
- And how does simulcast have anything to do with this? It doesn't.
To the OP: You need to record the raw signal (I/Q data or FM
demodulated audio) so someone can analyze it. Then the decoder logic
can be updated to accommodate tone frames and you'll get your audible alerts.
