Skipp, I suspect that you were the exception rather than the rule, then. To me there are better ways to do it than a 567. I remember playing with various 567 circuits back in the 70's. Never could get reliable performance. Used them for paging frequencies. Gave up and started using commercial encoders and decoders and never looked back. Maybe you can give the guy some guidance to get some stability and choke down the bandwidth so that adjacent tones don't false the thing.
