I've got a bunny controller using a 16C84.  One minute on, one minute off with
a CW ID at the beginning and the end of the transmission.  The tone is
generated by toggling one of the PIC's output pins.  Another output pin
is used to key the HT.  I can send code if anyone is really interested.

Ain't PIC's great?  Went to the PIC seminar yesterday.  Bought a PicStart Plus,
but haven't used it yet.  Anyone know about the 8 pin PICs Microchip has
come out with?  I hear that they are around 50 cents each (US) in quantity.
Beacon/Bunny controllers only need 2 or 3 output pins....
