I bet I can take *any* controller and connect it in such a way it will not decode DTMF tones. ;- That said, two things to remember about Motorola DTMF mics. First, the bias was already mentioned. If the mic isn't getting voltage, how could it ever produce DTMF tones? Second, many times the

True, but the reason was likely to prevent the 'button press' when the PTT was active. How many times have you hit a button accidentally on a DTMF mic? In the commercial world, most would not have understood what happened - especially if the controller mutes DTMF (which most commercial
