the qyt kt-8900d two and five tone set up

[riccom]

on this little radio, i have tried to set up 2 and 5 tone decode, and it seems on #1 not encode the 2 tone, and then if it wont encode them, will it decode them.
Has anyone of yall had any luck with this or is it a fake to make the radio sound like it is worth something?

I just recently purchased one of these radios. I can get the 2 and 5 tone signalling to work. You have to program it into the channel on the software that you want it to do DTMF/2tone/5tone signalling. Then to signal, you have to hit the call button next to the volume to set off the tones. I have tried to figure out the decode but have not gotten it to work. The scrambler function is the same thing. It doesnt seem to work at all. I have tried to find others with these issues in forums and the only thing that seems to pop up are holier then thou ham radio operators that basically tell you in a matter of words that this radio is basically beneath them and that they use it for backup so if it gets taken out, it costed less than $100 so who cares. Its pretty hard to find any info at this point.
