And therein lies the inherent problem... most radio equipment today use microprocessor-based encoders/decoders. Older commercial equipment may have used reeds and such, but current technology has gone away from that.
I'm not debating whether this will or won't work but rather, given the current technology being employed for this purpose, the tendency will be more toward "not working" for just the reason you cited below. Mark - N9WYS -----Original Message----- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of mch If they are far enough apart in frequency and of the same relative amplitude, yes. Whil I cannot say either will always work, I have proven that those who say it cannot work are wrong. It will also depend on the type of decoder used. Many times microprocessor based decoders may reject both tones. Joe M. Rusty Coleman wrote: > > So I am hearing yes and no.
