Yes, I have used DTMF on other projects, but I had to keep costs REAL low, on this one; hence the option for single tones, generated by the processor itself. I know there is some code around here to generate DTMF, but they are quite bulky and I also needed the memory space. Anyway, the hardware is done now. And it really works fine when you see the resulting signal on a scope. That's why I am so puzzled with this strange behavior... Thanks for your help !
