Thanks for the only positive response I received about 5 tone. Seems like.
anything new here meets with a "not invented here" attitude
From a controller-builder's perspective: There are over 2,000 6K and 7K controllers in the field that have had the ability to generate 5-tone pages (complete with the preamble tone and "X" tone) for many years. I've never had a customer ask about the feature and I'm not aware of anyone using it. If I were to guess the reason, I'd say it's the lack of aftermarket decoders. Commercially, the popularity of alphanumeric display pagers probably killed off the 5-tone system.
