Abstract: Signaling tone detection systems are presented that may allow for reductions in talk-off, cut-through, or both. In one general aspect, a detection system includes an outgoing signaling tone detector responsive to an output from a first station to a communication channel. An incoming signaling tone detector is responsive to an input to the first station from the communication channel. A sensitivity control input of the incoming signaling tone detector is responsive to a detection output of the outgoing signaling tone detector. This and other configurations may allow a system to detect tones more reliably, or they may allow a system with particular computational capabilities to detect more tones with a similar level of accuracy.
