I am trying to find the FTO that my city and county use but I know I need some help. This is what
I have done so far. I read the Wiki about the FTO and the software to use. I down loaded Xcorder and
recorded the page out for my city FD and have a WAV file for the tones. I download the Audacity
software and open the Wav file and selected the portion of the first tone to be analyzed and can
look at it but I am lost on how to tell the freq. Is there anyone can tell me how to do this or someone
who will let me sent the Wav file to them and tell my the freq. of the tones. Then mybe I can do the
other tones myself.
PS: I forget to say I have a BCD396T and am useing the line-in on my computer.

There's an article linked in the wiki about how to use Audacity to do the measurements. Did you read that, too? I believe it's a PDF file...73 Mike

Thanks ka3jjz for the info about the article linked in the wiki. I did not see it the first time I read about
the FTO in the wiki. I also used the search function( did not think to do this first) about Audacity and
found a good thread about what parameters to use in the settings. I my be on the right path to do this
now. Thanks you for your help.
