Autopatch Operations - Kenwood TM-732A Instruction Manual

4. Autopatch Operations (U.S.A. version only)
Some repeaters offer a service known as autopatch.
This feature allows you to dial a telephone number from
your transceiver and carry out a telephone
conversion,much like a car telephone, or cellular
telephone. This function requires the use of a DT[MF
(Dual Tone Multi Frequency) pad. The DTMF
microphone provides the normal keys you
would have on your telephone at home, in addition to
the normal 12 keys that are found on your telephone as
well as 4 additional keys, A, B, C and D. These keys
are required by some repeater systems for various
functions. Ask the control operator of your repeater to
determine if their use is required. A chart is provided
that lists the various tone frequencies that are
generated by the keypad.

2. Press the keys just like you would dial your telephone
at home.
3. The transceiver will remain keyed for approximately 2
seconds after you press each number, So you Can re-
lease the PTT switch without unkeying the transceiv-
er.
