AUTOPATCH
(U.S.A. AND CANADA VERSIONS)
Some repeaters in the U.S.A. and Canada offer a service
called Autopatch. This application of the DTMF function
allows you to access the public telephone network from
your transceiver. This repeater function can be very
convenient, and can even save lives when used
appropriately during emergencies.
1
Press and hold [PTT].
2
Press the keys in sequence on the keypad to send
DTMF tones.
¢
Your transceiver remains in the transmit mode for
2 seconds after you press each key. This means you can
release [PTT] after beginning to press keys without
interrupting the DTMF transmission.
Note:
Some repeaters require a special key sequence to activate
Autopatch.
Check with the repeater control operator.
