Touch Tone (DTMF) Reader |
|
|
Dialed phone numbers, repeater codes, control codes, anywhere touch tones are used your TG2 will decode and store any DTMF tone it hears. A simple hook-up to any radio speaker or phone line is all that is required. The Flash storage capacity of the built-in micro controller allows the circuit to store 640-digit numbers for 10 years, even with the power turned off. The bright 8-digit display lets you scroll through the stored numbers at your leisure. To make it easy to pick out numbers or codes, a dash is inserted between any group or set of numbers that were decoded more than 3 seconds apart. |
