Side Tones On/Off

Whenever the radio encodes (sends) a 5 tone telegram, usually these tones are also heard from the
radio's loudspeaker to act as a confidence aid for the radio user. In the case of Telegram on PTT,
this also indicates when it is OK to start to talk.
These 'side tones' can be set on or off, to cater for the user's preference.

DTMF

DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) is used when the radio is required to operate with an interface to
a telephone system.
On all radios a DTMF encode sequence can be sent, and
on the CM360 with keypad mic, the keypad can be put into DTMF live dial mode.
Each DTMF encode sequence can:
be up to 24 digits long;
have digits 0 - 9, P (pause),
The radio does not decode DTMF. A DTMF decode option board can be fitted if required.
