Todd,
If there are others on the satellite, they can keep it open. While we recommend all stations utilize a 67 Hz tone, it does not need to be present on each transmission.

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
