+### Context
+I was programming my Motorola Minitor V Pager and was looking at the various two-tone rules configured.  ANd while I know my [Fire toneout](https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Fire_Tone_Out#:~:text=Fire%2DTone%20Out%20Operation%20allows,and%20long%20group%20tone%20paging.) by ear, I couldn't correlate to the Hz values used by the pager.  I google for a simple tone generator and found a few, but they were all single tone.  Whipped this up in an hour or so.
+
+### Problem
+Needed to hear the sound of multiple tone-out values to confirm which was Fire, EMS, and All County, but all pager had was the Hz value, and no means to play samples.
+
+### Solution
+Some javascript and use of the [tone.js](https://tonejs.github.io/) library to collect inputs for the two tones, and play them back in the right cadence.  The table allows multiple rows to be added, with optional labels.  A table can also be saved by generating a shareable URL to prefill on next visit.
+- Add Rows

+#### Peru Pager Toneouts
+Here's a [link to listen to the 3 toneouts that my local Fire/EMS department uses](/tones.html?1=EMS%2C601.1%2C788.2&2=Fire%2C601.1%2C510.5&3=All+County%2C1251.9%2C510.5) on our pagers as an example.
