IF there IS a 6mrrptr doing cross tone operation, they need to have a reality check....it makes NO sense to xmit a different tone than they require for access (unless it’s a closed rptr in S CA...then anything goes there! <G> )

My THF6 HT can do xmit tone(T) or a different receive tone (CT) but I think the transmit tone follows any selected receive CTCSS.....
Other than that, I too donot know of a ham rig that can do cross tone....(and again, WHY???)
