This was back in the early seventies.
We were a Motorola Service Station
The radio shop that 'dumped' the new customer on the same CTCSS
tone was a GE shop.
Our shop had access to a device that automatically noted every
CTCSS tone used on a given channel and also counted each time
that CTCSS tone was used.
We called the device a tattle-tale. Worked for us. We could
easily determine which CTCSS tone was available without having
to try every tone before trying to assign a customer to the
unused tone.
