We use a 2-tone paging system to notify personnel of an emergency. We have a receiver/decoder tied into the stations PA system. For many many years we have been using a Federal Signal Station Informer to decode the tone for the station.
This device recently started to fail and we don't have any spares. It was time for quick thinking and rapid deployment of a backup receiver/decoder. This is what I came up with.
Now the question is do we continue to use the portable radio for the nominal opportunity cost of sacrificing a HT750, or play $600 for a new Federal Signal Station Informer. The HT750 is growing on us as it has several features that don't exist in the Station Informer.
Cheers,
Brandon
