Using selective calling you can decode the 1000 hz tone.
If you enter 1050hz as tone B (no tone a) I think it will work, you can do this with just about any radio that supports two tone decode.

You cant decode SAME codes if that is what you want.

Astro Sabers don't do Two-tone. Neither do XTS3000's.
