Here in IL, MERCI (Medical Emergency Radio System in Illinois) radios are VHF and had 8 selectable tone reeds in the Micor Systems 90 control heads. I'm not sure how they have it set up now - maybe a different "Mode" for each various PL tone / freq combination.
Mark - N9WYS _____ From: [email protected] On Behalf Of Maire-Radios I have a Mitreck that has a systems 90 head on it 110 watts output UHF and has 4 reeds in it as you can select any one of the 4 tones on any one of the 4 channels also has 2 tone receiver card in it also. When I got it the price was up there now it sits on the shelf. Also a Mocom 70 with the same set up. That was the days. Any offers>?

And even with 12 encode and 12 decode sockets the PC boards were only partially stuffed - they were laid out and etched for 20 of each. Let's see - 24 reeds at $75 each= $1800 just in reeds. Mike
