A. Tone CloningTM is a process of automating the configuration of Family Radio Service (FRS) radios, especially when using radios from different vendors. Tone CloningTM requires the use of a fast CTCSS processor such as the CMX808A. An FRS radio that supports Tone CloningTM can copy (clone) the CTCSS tone(s) used by another FRS radio. This greatly simplifies radio configuration and reduces the process to two steps: 1. Configure a first radio with a desired CTCSS tone. 2. Use the Tone CloningTM feature of the other radios so they clone (copy) the hidden code in the first radio s transmission. Since different FRS radio vendors may describe their CTCSS tones differently (e.g. 67.0Hz or code A or code F for the same CTCSS tone frequency), customers may not understand how to program different vendors radios for proper operation. An FRS radio with tone cloning™ can clone tones from any CTCSS-based FRS radio, thereby allowing radios from different manufacturers to operate together. In this wa
