More about the SUB-03
In 2003 the SUB-03 was completely redesigned around microprocessor detection: quicker to install, faster to respond, fewer false detections and a wider detection range than our earlier decoders. Networks and stations rely on it even on noisy channels with suppressed tone injection.
The SEN-6 is its partner for putting cue tones on a feed. Older SUB-03 manuals are on the Legacy manuals page, and a test file of 25 Hz, 35 Hz and combo tones is on Test tones and diagrams.
