You wanted a tone detector. Then you asked if a vibrating reed

system does some other complex things as well. Particularly when
multiple users (groups) are on a single channel in a single locale.

I've administered business band radio systems. CTCSS is similar to a 3

more like a single tumbler combination lock.
