Tone Control Interface
The ITA2000A decodes standard EIA tone keying control tones for controlling the radio system. The
control tone convention can be seen below.
The function tone frequency ranges from 550 Hz to 2050 Hz in 100 Hz increments. 2050 Hz represents
monitor in Conventional mode and scan start/stop in Scan mode, 1950 Hz for F1, 1850 Hz for F2 down
to 550 Hz for F15.
When scanning and carrier is detected, a similar tone sequence is generated to the phone line where
HLGT is generated for 40 ms followed by a 20 ms function tone representative of the current channel.
This tone sequence will be decoded by desk sets capable of fast parallel status update, such as the GAI-
Tronics ITR2000A and IPE2500A. The use of products that are not capable of decoding this fast tone
sequence is not advisable, as the reliability of the operator information may be less than desirable.
