[Qcwa] Random old bit of technology.

I recall SECODE dialers on the control heads of ambulance radios I serviced
in Maine. They dialed in the 3 digit phone prefix of whatever hospital they
were transporting a patient toward on a common statewide hospital frequency.
Only the proper hospital's squelch would open.
