Utilizing DTMF tone list VP8000

[otobmark]

I want to access the DTMF list to knock down and bring up repeaters and other functions on analog channels. Basically a DTMF auto dial. I could create a channel for each function but better would be bring up a menu of pre-programmed tones. I played with this for hours and cannot get it to work. I found a place to create a DTMF list of Alias's and values but no way to assign or access that list.

Sure looks like all it does is use DTMF either for old trunking interconnect or PTT ID. I don't see anything like the autodial list that's been in Kenwood radios for decades.

You can't add a soft button, but you can add it to the menu and a hardware button, its DTMF List. You open the list, scroll to the code you want too send, then soft button left is Send.

When I menu to DTMF List and then press select, Radio displays red bar with word "Analog". It doesn't matter if the channel I'm on is analog or digital (DMR or P25) I get same result.

I observe that when I go to another P25 or DMR channel that is not the same system the DTMF list is setup in.

I did more testing, it will only let the list come up on an analog channel.

Additionally, you can press and hold the PTT with the code selected to transmit the DTMF sequence followed by voice.
