Yes you can add a CTCSS tone generator to almost any radio. I used the Communications Specialists, Inc. SS-64 to provide a tone for an old ICOM 211. Connect it up the audio chain, say at the deviation pot. 73, Kevin/W3DAD

Greetings!
Can a simple circuit or OTS accessory add the 67hz PL tone to a radio mixing w/ microphone in?
I purchased an ICOM IC-X2 from ebay to get access to the L-band and my Japanese was pretty rusty and so I didn’t realize it appears the PL tone squelch was optional on non-US variants of the radio.
(At least I cannot seem to invoke it thru the menu navigation)
It’s an awesome little radio and was a great deal. Is there any way I can build something to inject the 67hz myself?
Best Todd
