I use mine with FT790/690/290 for DTMF control of a repeaters etc.

This is the diagram of the mic, I reverse engineered it ...





























Here the UP & DOWN button are connected to earth, but they can be to +5V for
some rigs! So check your rig handbook to see which it needs.

DTMF SYSTEM
This uses two pure sine wave tones controlled from a 4x4 keypad matrix, a low-
frequency tone and a high-frequency tone, to specify 1 of the 16 options.

Pressing 2 keys in the same row/column, normal results in a single tone.

 TONE HIGH 1209Hz 1336Hz 1477Hz 1633Hz
  LOW
  697 Hz     1      2      3      A
  770 Hz     4      5      6      B
  852 Hz     7      8      9      C
  941 Hz     *      0      #      D



The 2 tones must not clip or mix on the Tx/RF path/Rx as the DTMF Rx IC uses
the presence of more than 2 tones to identify the signal non DTMF & ignores it.


Why Don't U send an interesting bul?
