6.8 DTMF
DTMF is an in-band signaling method using dual sinusoidal signals for any given code. Originally developed for telephony systems, it has proved
a very versatile tool in many other areas.
In two-way radio systems, DTMF is most commonly used for automation systems and remote control. A common example would be in amateur
radio repeaters where some repeaters are activated by sending out a DTMF sequence (usually a simple single-digit sequence).
DTMF frequencies and corresponding codes
1209Hz 1336Hz 1477Hz 1633Hz
697Hz 1 2 3 A
770Hz 4 5 6 B
852Hz 7 8 9 C
941Hz * 0 # D
The radios has a full implementation of DTMF, including the A, B, C and D codes.
The numerical keys, as well as the
, and , keys correspond to the matching DTMF codes as you would expect. The A, B, C and D codes
are located in the [MENU],
, and [EXIT] keys respectively.
To send DTMF codes, press the key(s) corresponding to the message you want to send while holding down the PTT key.
If you have the keypad lock enabled on your radio, you can still send DTMF tones the regular way without having to unlock your radio.
