A black magic machine utilized by infidels. How do it know? I thought it was interesting when Spokane TV channels went HD and then tried to run remote video via SKYPE. I thought I had glaucoma. Mike |

Very strange tones - like a fire call out, but different. 450.5125 no voice and three tests later all gone 11:09pm and I guessing the tones came from that Ztron box... |

All of our VHF KPN-760 and 800mhz KNGY-764 dispatch radios go through our intercom interface now. We still have buttons for an old orange Motorola tone remote in our old control room, but those are no longer in use. Now we keep a Motorola MC2500 deskset in the newsroom to select/unselect the quantars, but it's rarely used.
