008: Check DTMF Mute/Cover Tone/Bypass Settings
This command allows you to recall what was last set with command 007 for each port. The
voice response is the same as command 007.
<008> p Recall mute controls on a selected port
168: Set DTMF Acceptance Requirements
This command allows you to choose what conditions must be true for received DTMF digits to
be processed and used to execute commands.
The default setting is to accept DTMF digits if either or both the COR and PL signals are
active, regardless of the receiver's access mode set with Command 005. If a port's access mode
is "no access", it can still be controlled with DTMF commands. For example, suppose someone
is causing problems on port 1 and you shut him off with Command 005 10 D or unkey, setting
the access mode to "no access". This will keep him from being able to key up any transmitters,
even though he is getting into the receiver. When he gives up and goes away, you can make the
receiver active again by entering Command 005 1 1 D or unkey on that receiver (or any other
receiver). Another example: you normally require PL to access your repeater but you want to
make a PL override code that disables the PL requirement, so people that can't generate PL can
still use the repeater. With the DTMF requirements set to COR or PL, they will be able to
execute the PL override command even though they can't key up the repeater without it.
The other possible setting requires that you satisfy whatever the port access conditions are (as
set with Command 005) before your DTMF digits will be allowed to execute commands. This
setting may be useful if there is another repeater in the area on the same frequency but using a
different PL. If you use "COR and PL" as your access mode, all DTMF digits will be ignored
unless the correct PL is being received.

Parameters:
- 168 is the default command name
- P is the port number
- X is 0 for "COR or PL", 1 to require the port to meet the conditions set with command
