I picked up an R2200 from Monty about a year ago. It's a great basic monitor and has already paid for itself. As I find myself involved in more and more complex projects, I've been seeing a need for a tone generator to plug into it. A basic two-tone generator where I can dial in my tone freqs and timing would work for 99% of my needs.

Anyone have any ideas? Manufacturers? Model numbers? Where to get one? I'm not looking to break the bank - my unemployment check can only be stretched so far. You have to spend some money to make money though.

Moto R-1150 series. 'Code Synthesizer II,' to be exact. I bought mine on Greed-bay about two or so years ago for around $100. Someone on the board may even have one up for grabs.

The CS-II will do just about anything you want -- DTMF, all kinds of paging including two-tone, DTMF, IMTS, etc.

Happy hunting, and may you find new employment quickly. I was on the unemployment rolls for over a year, so I know what it's like.

The R2200 has a built in two tone generator.

I'm glad Dave caught that one. On the R2200 service monitors press the "Tone Data" button and program your PL and paging tones. Were you referring to the 1200 series monitors?

I was going to say. The R2200B sitting on my desk has all sorts of tone encode and decode functionality.
