[App_rpt-users] Touch Tones

[Bryan D. Boyle]

i don't get why people would want to pass DTMF over the output of the repeater.  besides being anoying, it exposes your control sequence to disclosure (record, playback) and is generally considered obnoxious.  

here's an idea: buy a receiver board from hamtronics or bash an old mobile to get discriminator out to a URI, split the receive antenna line at the site, set up a receive node on some oddball non-interfering frequency, and code what you want into scripts and/or commands in rpt.conf.  set your mobile/ht to same oddball frequency, and pound away on the keypad to your heart's content without blowing the speakers out of the radios that may be tuned to your repeater output and turning folks off to using said mschine.  

it's called 'out-of-band' control.
