As has been pointed out, there are some problems with running two different PL tones at the same time, both on the TX and at the RX sites. It can be done, but it also can have some problems. Here is a thought, a possible solution to the problem. Run a single tone at the TX site, but selectable from 3 choices, say 100.0, 107.2, and 114.8. This can easily be done by diode switching on a Comm-Spec or similiar type encoder. At each RX site, have 2 decoders, one set to a common tone, maybe 100.0. When this PL is selected, both sites will be active. At site "A", there will also be a parallel decoder on 107.2, and at site "B" there will be a parallel decoder on 114.8. So to run both sites, 100.0 is selected at the TX site. For site "A" only, run 107.2, and for site "B" only, run 114.8. This solution will cost a little more, but will be much easier to implement and keep running without problems, using any type of decoder.
