Hi, I have a weird idea on how to decode dtmf tones. It may work but then again it may not. 1. sample a tone to record it (@ 4kc sample rate or something). 2. then store it. 3. then compare it to 'known' samples (samples taken during calibration of pic/eeprom with identification(1,2,3,4,5, etc). 4. if it does not match rotate the bits and try again going to step 3 until we get a match(or until we run out of samples) 5. return with the tone number(1,2,3,4,5,etc) in W. Think this will work or is it just a foolish idea? CYA! Andy K. Amateur Radio Callsign: N1YEW
