The easiest way to add CTCSS (PL is a registered trade
mark of Motorola for their version of CTCSS) is to
purchase an encoder from Communications Specialists. 
Their TE-32 model will generate any of the 32 "normal"
CTCSS tones "at the flip of a switch".  

The usual place to connect the output of a tone
generator is the center pin ("wiper") on the deviation
control in the transmitter.  You definitely do NOT
want to connect a CTCSS tone generator in the
microphone circuit.  Set the audio level from the
CTCSS generator to between +/- 0.3 KHz to +/- 0.5 KHz.
 Unless you are accessing a repeater that uses the old
mechanical reed type of CTCSS decoder +/- 0.3 KHz will
be plenty.  But, if a particular repeater still uses
the old type of decoder you will have to set the tone
deviation at around +/- 0.5 KHz to reliably open the
receiver.

Just picked up an old 2 meter HW-202 Transceiver. with
manual. Does anyone have any info on the tone encoder?
Will it generate PL tones or is it an old fashoned
tone burst generator?
