DTMF commands now work on Multimode repeater


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

The W6CX-DV Multimode DV repeater (145.0 +2.5) now processes DTMF commands in D-Star mode.? I am looking into getting it also working on certain other DV modes.

Probably the biggest use would be to send an RF command to link to a reflector different from the default.? For example, if you have a radio with DTMF keys, you could key up and hit *03003 .? This would request relinking to REF030C.? Simply sending # will unlink from the current reflector.? It is always nice, when done, to link back to our default of REF014C (DTMF ** will do that), but if there is no RF activity on D-Star after something like 10 minutes, it will automatically link back to the default.?

Here is a summary about DTMF keys on a Multimode repeater from

COMMON DTMF COMMANDS

0?????? Voice / Info Announcements?????
#?????? Disconnect Active Link?

A = 1?? B = 2?? C = 3?? D = 4??
E = 5?? F = 6?? G = 7?? H = 8??
I = 9?? J = 10? K = 11? L = 12?
M = 13? N = 14? O = 15? P = 16?
Q = 17? R = 18? S = 19? T = 20?
U = 21? V = 22? W = 23? X = 24?
