Do you really need to encode your "normal" tone when user is not talking? Seems like it would be way simpler and goof proof to use a single tone for both purposes. If your user wants to hear the ID, function tones or whatever he could just listen in carrier squelch.

I would be using an outboard encoder for one of the two, and the VXR-7000's built in encoder for the other. I guess since it is not an obvious "yes" then it may or may not work, and it may or may not work on each user's individual radio. I need to avoid that situation, it needs to either work or I won't use it. > > Maybe as a side question, can you run two CTCSS tones at the same time, if they are far enough apart in frequency? Currently I have a 123.0hz tone on our repeater, and I need to also encode a tone only when a user is actually transmitting, for linking purposes. I do not care what the frequency of this other tone is, as long as it wont interfere with the 123.0hz tone. > > > Thanks > Rusty Coleman > KU4ZS > > Jim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > WD7F - John in Tucson wrote: > > Tell us how, please.
