Tom,

I had to go back and read the original post, and have a question for the OP:??

"i am looking for a dtmf decoder to connect to a receiver to decode our local EMA whelen siren to give a message on the repeater that the sirens have been activated i monitor the frequency that they activate the sirens on and the dtmf is very fast i am sure different tone sequence has different meanings i just want an announcement that the sirens were set off ,any thoughts ? "

Is this siren operated by the EMA a tornado or other public warning device, or is it fire siren or similar??

?You love to say something is illegal with nothing to back it up. You most certainly can automatically re broadcast emergency information, or in this case, broadcast a message that the emergency alert system has been activated. Cite and quote verbatim your passages to the contrary. Many systems automatically re broadcast the alerts from the NWS using the SAME codes to key the transmitter. All that is required is that the control operator can kill the transmission if needed.?

Hint, 97:113 specifically allows what he is wanting to do. Read it for comprehension, instead of with your normal bias.?

Having any announcement, etc on the repeater output automatically from the Wheelan siren system is not allowed under Part 97.....You?COULD change CT or something similar but it cannot key the repeater xmtr when it decodes..that is improper control of an amateur station.
