Well, another thing you could try is your 900 MHz cordless phone if it is
analogue.  You'll know its analogue because you'll hear yourself, but I
also use my old Expo to reference PL tones too because it stillis set to
transmit onthe 103.5 HZ PL.  That's something I would like a future radio
to have is dirrect entry PL or DCS.
