DTMF Functions.

I have noticed allot of anonymous stations just firing up the repeater with DTMF and connecting to various stations. Not only is this RUDE!! behavior it is also in contravention of the licensees BR68.

To combat this and to try and remind people of the correct way to operate the DTMF will be suspended until the repeater is fully accessed and latched into talk-through. GB3DC currently requires a minimum transmission from COLD / STANDBY of 6 seconds to latch the logic into full talk-through.

So from COLD / STANDBY you will now need to identify yourselves clearly during this 6 second period prior to dialing any DTMF.

There can be about a 4 second delay when working through the internet links,

so don't forget to leave a good gap between overs to enable others to break in and connecting repeaters to reset. GB3DC emits an "N" in Morse at the end of all internet transmissions. Please wait until you hear this before taking your over.

The table below lists each of the DTMF commands.
