Disable Keypad Row
&
Column DTMF Output
As explained previously, each DTMF tone con-
sists of a pair of audio frequencies generated simul-
taneously. Disabling a row or column keyboard
output prevents one of the two required tones
from being generated, effectively disabling the ra-
dio from performing functions requiring DTMF
(autodialing, paging, repeater autopatching, re-
mote control, etc.). This feature can be enabled if
you want to generate a test tone of a specific fre-
quency, or to add an extra degree of security to
prevent unauthorized persons from using your ra-
dio to perform the above functions. However, for
normal operation we recommend you not change these!
