DTMF Use in Amateur Radio ● DTMF signaling has several uses on amateur radios: – Entering a key sequence to access a closed repeater – Entering a key sequence to access and control features such as IRLP – Dialing a telephone number for an autopatch ● To transmit DTMF, press the push-to-talk switch and then press the desired numbers and symbols ● DTMF tones will be audible to the receiving station as long as keys are being pressed (for example, here is what “0” sounds like) ● As you can hear, DTMF tones are distinct from sub-audible repeater access or squelch tones, such as the 100 Hz tone needed for the Draper repeater History of DTMF ● “Early” telephones used a rotary dial to generate pulses on the telephone line that corresponded to each digit being dialed ● For anyone who has not seen one, YouTube has a number of videos that show “rotary dial” telephones – Rotary dialing was better than having to ask the operator to connect your call – But rotary dialing was still mechanical and slow ● American Telephone & Telegraph Company (which was known back then as “Ma Bell”) wanted a better dialing solution ● Around 1960, “Ma Bell” introduced “Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency” (DTMF) signaling, which they trademarked as “Touch Tone” ● The Touch Tone trademark was canceled in 1984 after “Ma Bell” was broken up by the U.S. government, but the phrases “touch tone” and “tone dialing” have lived on ● ITU Recommendation Q.23 describes DTMF Full DTMF Keypad Layout and Tone Frequencies Tone 1209 Hz 1336 Hz 1477 Hz 1633 Hz Freq. 697 Hz 1 2 3 A 770 Hz 4 5 6 B 852 Hz 7 8 9 C 941 Hz * 0 # D Touch Tone Telephone Keypad Layout ● The typical touch tone keypad has 4 rows and 3 columns of digits and symbols: – 1,2,3 – 4,5,6 – 7,8,9 – *,0,# ● The DTMF standard specifies a 4th column (A,B,C,D) that is rarely seen on telephones The Meaning of “Dual-Tone” and “Multi-Frequency” ● Multi-Frequency: DTMF uses a total of 8 frequencies – Four row frequencies (“Low Group” < 1000 Hz): 697 Hz, 770 Hz, 852 Hz, 941 Hz – Four column frequencies (“High Group” > 1000 Hz): 1209 Hz, 1336 Hz, 1477 Hz, 1633 Hz ● Dual-Tone: DTMF simultaneously transmits two tones when a key is pressed – One tone from the “Low Group” corresponds to the key's row – One tone from the “High Group” corresponds to the key's column – Using one tone from each group separates the tone frequencies and makes them easier to detect DTMF Keypad Layouts for Amateur Radio ● Unlike telephone keypads, amateur radio DTMF keypads typically include all 16 digits and symbols: 0-9, *, #, and A-D ● However, the keypad layout varies from radio to radio: – Some radio keypads follow the standard layout for all 16 keys – Some radio keypads follow the standard layout for the 12 telephone keys, but use non-standard layout for A-D – Some radio keypads do not label A-D even though they support them – HOMEWORK: Look at your radio and consult your radio's manual ● Regardless of a radio's keypad layout, the transmitted tones should follow the standard .

  • The Panel Dial Telephone Switching System Douglas A. Kerr Issue 6 June 15, 2018
    The panel dial telephone switching system Douglas A. Kerr Issue 6 June 15, 2018 ABSTRACT In the 1910s, AT&T, the parent of the Bell Telephone System, anxious to reduce the stupendous labor costs of manual telephone switching (especially in large metropolitan areas), and realizing that the most prominent available switching system (the Strowger system) had serious limitations of its use in such areas, undertook the development from the ground up of a switching system based on many entirely new concepts. This system, the panel dial switching system, came to be the mainstay of the Bell System’s program of mechanizing telephone service in many of the largest cities in the U.S. In this article, we will learn of the evolution of this system, of the unique mechanisms around which it revolves, and of the implications of its basic operational principle, known as common control. Considerable detail in system operation is given, although not usually at the circuit level, except where necessary to illustrate an important concept. 1 HISTORICAL CONTEXT 1.1 The telephone industry in 1910 By 1910, the telephone industry in the United States was well on the way to its “classical” structure, which existed until about 1984. The Bell Telephone System, owned by American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T), was becoming the major force in the industry, and provided local telephone service in most of the nation’s largest cities (often after acquiring existing locally-owned telephone companies, sometime several competing ones in the same city, whose operations had to be harmonized and consolidated). In about 1907, AT&T adopted the slogan, “One Policy, One System, Universal Service”.

  • Using Genetic Algorithms to Design an Optimized Keyboard Layout for Brazilian Portuguese
    Using Genetic Algorithms to Design an Optimized Keyboard Layout for Brazilian Portuguese Gustavo Pacheco1, Eduardo Palmeira1, Keiji Yamanaka1 1Faculdade de Engenharia Eletrica´ – Universidade Federal de Uberlandiaˆ (UFU) Uberlandiaˆ – MG – Brazil fpacheco.gustavo.alves,[email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Currently, keyboards are the most common means of communicating with computers. Despite being the most commonly used keyboard layout, QW- ERTY has had various issues raised concerning its effectiveness, as it is not efficient in English (target language) or in fact other languages. Therefore, this paper presents the development process of a Genetic Algorithm with the inten- tion of generating a more adequate and coherent layout proposal for Brazilian Portuguese, which has its focus on ergonomics and user productivity. Using five ergonomic criteria and a statistical analysis of the characters and sequences of most frequently used pairs in Brazilian Portuguese, a layout approximately 53% better than QWERTY was obtained. 1. Introduction Currently, keyboards are the most common means of communicating with computers. The electronic era has strengthened the unique and dominant position of the QWERTY layout keyboard. This layout had its design conceived in 1874, for typewriters, but it was only in the first decade of the 20th century that it became established as the international keyboard standard. At that time, writers commonly used only their index fingers for typing. The first typists searched for the character and, after finding it, pressed it to make its impression on the paper. It was a slower and more cautious interaction. Only after the 1930s, the typing speed was improved when all ten fingers started to be used as a conventional manner of interaction.

    Wiretapping Smart Phones With Rotary–Dial Phones’ Law: How Canada’s Wiretap Law is in Desperate Need of Updating ANNE TURNER * “The task of adapting laws that were a product of the 1970s to a world of smartphones and social networks is a challenging and profoundly important one.” Justice Moldaver, R. v. Telus Communications Co. I. INTRODUCTION hen Canada’s wiretap law was enacted in 1974, the standard method of communication was a rotary dial phone, attached to W the wall within someone’s home. Phones the size of credit cards that would be carried in someone’s pocket everywhere they went, and that would contain information about someone’s entire life were the topic of science fiction. Computers were the size of entire houses and the notion that soon everyone would have at least one computer in their home by which they would be able to send messages to friends around the world and search for reams of information on any topic imaginable was beyond the average person’s wildest dreams. As a result, Canada’s wiretap law contemplated the electronic eavesdropping on one suspect’s land-line at their home or office to others using the same technology. While that was * LL.B.

  • What to Do If You Hear Radio Communications on Your Telephone
    What to do if you hear radio communications on your telephone Interference occurs when your telephone instrument fails to "block out" a nearby radio communication. Potential interference problems begin when the telephone is built at the factory. All telephones contain electronic components that are sensitive to radio frequencies, but cordless telephones are particularly susceptible because they use radio transmitters/receivers. Cordless telephones are also highly sensitive to electrical noise, (electric fences) radio interference, and the communications of other nearby cordless phones. Cordless phones with more features like messaging, redial and intercom, contain more electronic components; this creates a greater potential for outside interference. If the manufacturer does not build in interference protection, these components may react to nearby radio communications. For example, you could hear the transmission of a local radio station through your telephone’s handset. This is not necessarily a sign that the interference is intentional or that the interfering radio transmitter is illegal but that your equipment has no, or inadequate, protection. If you own an unprotected telephone, as the radio environment around you changes, you may sometimes hear unwanted radio communications. This is a technical problem, not a law enforcement problem Because interference problems begin at the factory, you should send your complaint to the manufacturer who built your telephone. It is important that you follow through and contact the manufacturer of your phone if you are having an interference problem. The company needs to know if you are unhappy about your phone’s failure to block out radio communications. Also, the manufacturer knows the designs of its telephones and may be able to suggest a solution for your specific phone.
