CTCSS - DTMF - Tone Decoder / Encoder

CTCSS Decoder / Encoder

    Sub - audible tone decoder 
    using MX165CP from MX-com 
This circuit is a perfect upgrade for old FM transceivers , that do not offer Tone Sqelch. The IC detects 39 different tones in the range between 67 Hz -250 Hz. 
A filter is included (0-300Hz) to keep the low tones off the speaker. To monitor stations transmitting without a tone, you should use pin OTL ( open to listen).

DTMF Decoder

    Touch tone decoder 
    using IC 145436 
decodes 16 different pairs of tones. 
Pin DV (data valid) enables a demultiplexer. 
Max current on each output of 74LS154 is 20mA. Maximum AF input is 1,2Vss on C3. 
 

DTMF Decoder

    Touch tone decoder 
    using MT8870 
Resistor R at the input is dependent on input voltage ( see table). Pin TOE is useful to enable THREE Sate Output of MT8870. 
Combine this circuit with CD 4028 decoder or 4514 demultiplexer. 
Ideal for remote controll of a repeater or ATV station.

Single tone decoder

    using IC NE567 
 R1 and C2 define the frequency range. 
For good sensitivity only minimum of input AF-Voltage is recommended. (50mV) 
The circuit has a bandwith of 2-15% and is extremely useful for CW-decoders,AFSK-RTTY, TV sync-decoder and ultra sonic applications.Do not use ceramic C but high quality capacity.

1750 Hz tone burst

Tone Burst 1750 Hz

    for European repeater operation

very simple and stable circuit to produce 1750Hz tone from 12Volt single supply.
Use a 4060 IC and a 455khz filter with minimum of parts.
