For decoding MDC-1200, FleetSync, and QCII (and probably more, but that’s all used around here) it’s worked fantastic. The app used to be a little clunky and dated. The new version looks awesome and is way easier to use. I am working on identifying fire toneouts and the ability to add aliases, and keep a count, is a huge addition. A great app made even better! ### 1/5 — Does Nothing *2025-12-06, version 1.4* Trying to decode tones for some reason this app got mentioned in a forum waste of .99 cents does nothing at all 👎👎👎 ### 4/5 — Excellent utility *2025-06-26* The app is excellent, it could definitely use an update for portrait layout. I'd love the ability to add a note to the log entries. It would also be swell to have the ability to sort IDs received by type of signaling. Thank you for writing and publishing this. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2025-04-27* For the past year or so this app hasn’t been working, didn’t pickup any radio ID etc. very frustrating ### 5/5 — Extremely accurate for two tone paging *2023-06-14* I was a little skeptical when I first heard about this app, but it’s extremely accurate. More so than Audacity and Uniden in my experience. Highly, highly recommend. ### 4/5 — Great app for many people *2021-11-18* This app is great for amateur radio operators, paid and volunteer firefighters and other public safety radio coordinators, you can play the sound near the phone and it will detect it, it could use a little explanation of all the features and it needs to detect sooner because on shorter tones it has a issue hearing it but besides that this app is a lifesaver for scanner listeners, volunteer firefighters programming all pagers, many different uses just for the tone finding, again I would like a manual on the other features and how to use them but besides that no complaints, 9/10 and such a good price, worth more then .99 cents ### 1/5 — FleetSync does not decode *2020-09-07, version 1.4* This app does not decode FleetSync 1200 baud, FleetSync 2400 baud, FleetSync II 1200 baud, or FleetSync II 2400 baud. ### 4/5 — Great App! *2020-08-04* I very much appreciate this app. It does as its intended. One feature I’d love to see is adding the ID’s as a “contact” if you will. For example “unit 3248 PTT ID” can be renamed in the app to be something like “Engine 36 Alpha Radio”. Other than that leisure feature I would love to see added, great application and would highly recommend to any scanner enthusiasts. ### 5/5 — Great tool! *2020-05-15* This app helped diagnose an issue with our dispatch. IT has been part time during this whole pandemic ordeal so it really saved us time to figure out what tones we were and weren’t getting. Thank you for this great tool! ### 1/5 — MDC1200 *2019-06-21, version 1.4* I have two UHF 2-way radios: Kenwood TK-3180 and Motorola Xts3000-II with MDC posting PPT-ID working. I was hoping this app would show something like the PPT-ID or call ID, but nothing ## Frequently asked questions about Radio ID ### What does this app do?
