Unfortunately, a Quantar has no intrinsic ability to decode DTMF unless it is equipped with a SAM option.
SAM = Station Access Module. With the SAM option you can do exactly what you want with a combination of SAM and wildcard programming. The SAM option can be retrofitted in the field. You can order the module from the Motorola parts department for about $1K. You will also need the SAM RSS program. Programming the Quantar SAM and wildcard options is not a trivial task. Your other choice is to use an external third party DTMF decoder. ----------------------------------------------------------------- --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "rahwayflynn" <mafl...@...> wrote: "Question for the Quantar Experts: Is it possible to set the quantar up as a base station, conventional, csq, and only unmute when a particular 4 digit DTMF string is received? The radio should revert to muted mode 2 minutes after the last PTT activation."
