The system includes a transmitter in which is provided a tone generator having a first oscillator to generate a first signal of a fixed frequency and a second oscillator which is variable to generate a second signal of a selected frequency. A multiplier receives the signals and provides a pair of tones having frequencies respectively equal to the sum of and difference between their frequencies. A switch may be provided so that both inputs to the multiplier are received from the variable frequency oscillator, in which case the output of the multiplier will be a single tone having a frequency twice that of the signal produced by the variable frequency oscillator. In either event, the tones are modulated on an RF wave. The system further comprises a receiver which has processing apparatus to receive incoming single side-band signals and convert them into IF components. A product detector in conjunction with an IF carrier source is operated to detect the IF signal and provide an intelligence message contained therein. A loudspeaker converts the intelligence message into audio information. An AM detector mixes the single side-band components to provide a signal having a frequency equal to the difference in frequencies between the tones in the incoming single side-band signals. A tuned circuit is responsive to a difference frequency signal of a predetermined frequency to provide an output signal to operate an electronic switch. In the presence of the output signal, the electronic switch produces an enabling signal to render the audio circuit operative and also to render the product detector operative and to render the AM detector inoperative. In the absence of the enabling signal, the audio circuit is inoperative as is the product detector but the AM detector is operative.

There is disclosed an electronic switching device having a transmitter-energized position for coupling a source of operating voltage to a carrier-wave-generating circuit, a further switch coupled to the electronic switch having one position causing the electronic switch to be placed in its transmitter-energized position, a control circuit which provides energizing signals when the further switch is placed in its first position and then in its second position, which energizing signals cause a circuit to generate information for modulation on the carrier wave, a holding circuit which, in the presence of the energizing signals, maintains the energizing switch closed, despite placement of the further switch in its second position.
