Can't speak for the Prog, as I never had one with CTCSS. But I don't recall hearing a Mastr Pro drop tone before TX; I assumed they simply didn't bother implementing any form of STE. Dropping tone is a crappy way of doing STE, since you have to hold the TX on for at least a 3/4 of a second to make sure all the decoders have stopped decoding. Bob NO6B
