Typical Radio DTMF Layout * your position of the A,B,C,D keys may be else where  or you may have to set up your radio to send out the DTMF string another way

yours may be arranged differently but these are the key you will need for DTMF commands.

To enter a call sign (for the Connect by Call or Query by Call commands), press two digits for each letter and number in the call sign.  The first digit is the key on which the letter appears (using 1 for Q and Z), and the second digit is 1, 2, or 3, to indicate which letter is being entered.  To enter a digit, press the digit followed by 0.  When finished, end with the pound key (#).

For example, the letter "K" is entered as "52", the letter "Q" is entered as "11", and the digit "7" is entered as "70".

Call signs need not be entered in full.  If a partial call sign is entered, Echolink will find the first match among the stations currently logged on.  If no match is found among the stations currently logged on, Echolink will say "NOT FOUND".

Examples

bulletTo connect to node number 9999:

Enter:  DA 9 9 9 9

Echolink responds with:

"CONNECTING TO CONFERENCE E-C-H-O-T-E-S-T"

followed by

"CONNECTED"

because 9999 is the node number of conference server "*ECHOTEST*".

Enter:   D 0 8 [5 2 ][1 0][ 7 2][ 3 3][ 3 1] #
                          K       1      R      F      D

Echolink responds with:

"K-1-R-F-D 1-3-6-4-4 BUSY"

because 13644 is the node number of station K1RFD, and K1RFD is currently busy.

bulletTo connect to a random link or repeater:

Enter: D 0 1

Echolink responds with:

"CONNECTING TO K-1-O-F REPEATER"

"CONNECTED"
