The A,B,C,D DTMF keys work just fine in function statements - ABC=status,12 Entering *ABC gives time of day 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio From: apprptusers@westbrook.com Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2014 18:24:17 -0600 To: Bryan@bryanfields.net CC: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] DTMF digits on IaxRpt Asterisk's "dsp.c" (even the old version in the app_rpt fork, I believe) does indeed already decode them at no additional cost, so I too would have expected them to just come along for the ride. Does some other part of the system filter them out? Who cares why -- although I can think of a dozen use cases without even trying hard. Besides, it costs absolutely nothing when you're already doing the other digits. Let the man have his tones, I say. $0.02, Eric K5BFC On Thu, Aug 14, 2014 at 7:29 AM, Bryan Fields <Bryan@bryanfields.net> wrote: On 8/14/14, 9:24 AM, Bryan D. Boyle wrote:
The issue is *why* is it so danged important to have the A-D keys decoded?
security through obscurity? Because they are there on ham mics?
No one has really described a use case for why this artifact of the whole dtmf
protocol is really needed. especially when, with the asterisk system, there
is almost an unlimited functionality with using just the 10 digits bracketed
by the star and octothorpe.
