[SixClub] High end 6 meter rigs (was: New to Six Meters)

[kg4ssy at comcast.net]

I own an FT-650 and love it. The only thing I wish I had for it would be a tone board. Mostly I am on SSB but sometimes I scan the AM and FM  portions on the band. A couple times I have heard repeaters and after failing to bring them up I look at the repeater handbook and find out they are tone protected. Anybody know where I can find one? They supposedly had one to be an option for the 650, but I havent had any luck finding one.
