Al and the group;

The subtone encoder module on my 2591 is a 1 inch thick gizmo that fits
between the HT and the battery pack.  It slips on like a battery, and the
battery slips onto the bottom of the encoder.  My HT is very early - ser
00228 - and fitting the tone module involved replacing the two terminal
power connection plate on the bottom of the radio with a three terminal
version that was supplied at no charge by the wonderful folks at TenTec.
The encoder module is apparantly a very rare bird!

Hope this helps.
