DTMF capable scanner

I have a Uniden BCT-15 that I use at work for scanning other agencies. I like the fire tone-out function, however most of the agencies around me use DTMF tones rather than the two-tone function this scanner supports. Anyone know of a scanner that supports DTMF tone-out?

I don't know if a scanner does, but if you query it on the internet, there are some boxes that you can plug into it and it will decode them.

I've got the tones from the RR database, I just need a scanner I can program them in to so I get an alert when the ones I want to hear go off.

There aren't any scanners that support DTMF alerting but there are communications receivers that have it built in. Icom makes many. You need to be parked on a channel though.
