[chirp_users] Tyt 9800 Buttons
Hi All, In the Chirp settings page, I was able to program the four programmable buttons on the microphone, using a screenreader in windows 10 and Chirp Next, but I did not notice if there was anything in Chirp Settings tab for the four vertical buttons to the right of the numberpad on the microphone. Are those programmable buttons, or are they for something else? I cannot read the buttons, and I didn't find any reference in the manual that was readable with a screenreader as what these buttons are. Can anyone tell me if they are programmable or not, and what they do? The vertical buttons do nothing, but sometimes the top one beeps once, and after that, there is nothing from the buttons. Thanks.

Hi John, There are 4 keys to the right of the traditional number pad, right of 3, 6, 9, and #. I think they are labeled A B C & D. I don't know what they are for.

I think I understand now. Apparently there's a way to program in a series of tones, like to open the CTCSS on a repeater if you don't know the CTCSS frequency, or bring up an autopatch. Repeaters probably use these tones too for linking to an Internet hub for example. Thanks.

I remember those keys being used by repeater owners to control special repeater functions remotely.

At one time, the A, B, C, and D tones were used by the Autovon network for prioritization of calls. ref: Silver Boxes
https://www.sigidwiki.com/wiki/Dual_Tone_Multi_Frequency_(DTMF)
I don't have any experience with Automatic Call Distributor systems so I can't verify this, but those four extra tones were also used back in the day for managing multi-party calls. Thinking about the structure of those systems, though, it seems plausible.
https://www.tech-faq.com/abcd-tones.html
There are mutiple refs out there backing up statements in other posts about their being used to handle autopatches and repeater management.
