DUAL TONE MULTI-FREQUENCY (DTMF) FUNCTIONS (WITH MC-58DM ONLY)

The keys on the Mic keypad function as DTMF keys; the 12 keys found on a push-button telephone plus 4 additional keys (A, B, C, D). This transceiver provides 10 dedicated memory channels. You can store a DTMF number (16 digits max) with a memory name (8 digits max) in each of the channels to recall later for a quick call.

Some repeaters in the U.S.A. offer a service called Autopatch. You can access the public telephone network via such a repeater by sending DTMF tones. For further information, consult your local repeater reference.
