-> Beg pardon?  Sure you can.  non-standard PL's are used in a number of
-> applications, such as a local SO we have, that has had a problem with
-> a person discovering their input and tone, and disrupting their
-> communications.
But non-standard tones aren't common. The wide majority of business
users, hams, and public safety use the common, standard tones...
Although, then again, anything's possible in this world...
