    I used to use DTMF, for Autopatch starting in 1973, as an add on to my
    first Drake ML2 2 meter mobile.
    I know it can be used as a control
    function.
    Additionally, some transceiver have
    direct frequency input via DTMF pads. 😊

    • @geraldcampbell6834
      @geraldcampbell6834 Год назад

      Yes I used auto patch on my local repeater back in the day before cellphones, great fun and I impressed my friends with it they thought I was a dork always carrying that radio around but when I got us out of a few jams from time to time or was able to call for help for a major auto accident in a remote area the dork title went away! There are still a few repeaters here in Colorado that still have an auto patch function that covers areas where cellphone coverage is bad!

    DTMF tones are used to trigger relays, activation of cross band repeaters, and phone patches
    We used *88, #88 to activate and deactivate the crossband repeaters
    We also used * on our simplex phone patch frequency to activate the phone dial tone.
    To hang up we used #
    We also used tones to call different people
    So in my Kenwood TK-250 and TK-350 I have my personal unit number so I can be paged if I am not active on the radio.
    It beeps just like a pager
    The other great thing to own is a 2-tone pager, so you can have a lot of different people with their own tones
    And we can have a group tone
    SO 313 pages all the people in our zone
    1090, 515 pages a specific person
    So you can use 1 frequency and talk to a lot of people without bothering anyone else.

      A pager would be nice if you're active on a repeater. While one way pages are against the rules, but if you're calling someone, it's ok.😊

    Thanks for your video. It's funny but all the polish YT experts with the ham operator license called "some people" did not explain what this function is and what for is. Their words: “hmmm... just skip it". But the most important thing is to tell the world at the beginning of every single video is "You can't use this radio. It's only for people who have the ham operator license" and at this moment I feel like a piece of .... then I hide in my wardrobe and start crying 😂

  • @chrissewell1608

    The ham radio program "EchoLink", commoly uses DTMF tones.
    (Echolink provides an internet link so Hams can easily talk around the world, with other Echolink users. This can be done via a PC, phone / tablet, and via a Radio & Repeater, or an at home Simplex Repeater!)
    The tones are used to operate the program, from a radio. DTMF tones allow access, dial various stations, and other program functions.
    Its a simple, easy, and stable system. Its pretty cool, because I can sit in my back yard with my HT, sipping a cold bevv-erãge 🥃, all while chatting with a chum in England! 🇬🇧 (God save the King!)
