Hi Eric,

Tom Hammond has put the tone detector in a KX1, I believe. But I think 
he's off-line for a few days, since he's visiting here in California.

It must be frustrating to be a biologist these days, watching species 
disappear, oceans warm, ice caps melt, habitat destroyed, and very 
little being done about it by the world's largest polluters. At least 
it's frustrating for me!

Of course any discussion of this topic should be OFF the reflector  :)
