i guess i should have clarified what are some of the programable features you can do with software?

and when setting up a repeater for a protable to do dtmf how hard is it to get it set up for a telephone relay?

you can program plenty of nifty features in the HT1250...as long as you are willing to SACRIFICE features for performance.....get yourself an MT2000 and let your dispatcher worry about decoding MDC1200..........unless you are using it for recreation...then it's kinda fun.......

mostly it would be used for fun.

but id like to try the phonepatch dtmf for ham.

i think that be cool at least to try it out

It is easier to use the DTMF if you program it to do this but,you can use it any way.All you do is press and hold the PTT and enter you access code on any channel or deaccess,even if it is not set to phone mode on the CPS.

how do you know what the access code is if your using the radio as ap hone on ham?

Most Ham repeaters use a * to activate the phone patch dial-tone, then dial your number, (down here we use the area code also) when your done..use your callsign & say: "clear the patch" and press the # key... Or is it something else you want to access?

no i just thought it would be a cool feature to try,

if i guess right it doesnt cost anything correct?

oh and people actually hear the conversation?

It's always better to make sure the repeater has an open autopatch, and it helps if you have a valid ham call.

Unless you fall out of range! And on the Ham bands don't discuss business! You can call Domino's and order a Pizza !! Oh! Yea! The Pizza you pay for! the patch should be free.....have fun!!!!!!

Yep! and what 10-95 said too! Don't tie up the patch during rush-hour...unless your in traffic too.....

well i have a cell phone but thought that trying that would be cool.

and maybe it would work when i go hiking.
