Alex, I operated a CAT300 with a two tone rising bubble up for about 15 years
before linking that controller to another repeater last year. At that time I
changed the CAT300 courtesy beep to a chime since I was getting a two tone DTMF
courtesy beep through the link, indicating that the repeaters are linked. A
local user on the CAT300 repeater hears the two tone DTMF plus chime as long as
the repeaters are linked, and hears only the chime if the repeaters have been
disconnected.
Details of the operation and combining the CAT300 with the RLS1000 are
contained in the forum:

A lot more info there than you need, but it explains how I used the courtesy
beep as telemetry to show the state of the system - linked or unlinked.

I'm in the process of programming up a new controller on my
repeater
(CAT300DX) and I think I've got everything setup the way I want it
except for the courtesy tone. I was just wondering what others were
using as the courtesy tone on their CAT300s. Any DTMF stings to play
with and get ideas from would be appreciated.
If anyone has any hints/tips/tricks/ cool ideas of things to program
into the controller I'd appreciate hearing them as well.
Lastly, if anyone has a copy of the CAT300DX programming software
(ED-300W) they'd be willing to loan out you would be my hero. Thanks.
Alex
