[sci.electronics] DTMF tones

tds32845@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (07/24/90)

	Can someone give me the frequencies for touch-tone phones?  I am 
working on a little project using my HP 28s.  Thanks.

	Respond here or e-mail me at "tonys@uiuc.edu".

	What I mean is, I need the tones corresponding to the numbers, 0-9,
and the two special characters, * and #.

Hope this answers your question.

	1: 697+1209
	2: 697+1336
	3: 697+1477

	4: 770+1209
	5: 770+1336
	6: 770+1477

	7: 852+1209
	8: 852+1336
	9: 852+1477

	*: 941+1209
	0: 941+1336
	#: 941+1477

Let me know if you have any other questions.

1=697hz & 1209hz
2=697hz & 1336hz
3=697hz & 1477hz
4=770hz & 1209hz
5=770hz & 1336hz
6=770hz & 1477hz
7=852hz & 1209hz
8=852hz & 1336hz
9=852hz & 1477hz
*=941hz & 1209hz
0=941hz & 1336hz
#=941hz & 1477hz

I'm not sure on the # and * keys but here are the numbers (2 frequencies
for each number)...


Freq
----
697       1    2    3

770       4    5    6

852       7    8    9

941            0

	 1209 1336 1477 <- 2nd Freq.

Hope this helps some!

There are also some minimum time durations for the tones:
Tone duration (min)     : 50mS
Time between tones (min): 45mS
Max f deviation         : 1.5%

  I also came across some undocumented but supposedly valid tones.
Anyone have an idea or care to guess what they do?
Fo = 697Hz & 1633Hz
F  = 770Hz & 1633Hz
I  = 852Hz & 1633Hz
P  = 941Hz & 1633Hz

	These are the DTMF tone pairs which correspond to the optional
column to the *right* of the "3-column".  The addition of these four
tone pairs creates a 4x4 matrix.  These additional tones are used for
specialized control purposes, but not, in general, to access any function
or servce provided by a telephone company; 4x4 DTMF keypads are readily
available for telephone and two-way radio use, but are no where near as
common as the conventional 3x4 DTMF keypad.

	These keys are more commonly labeled "A", "B", "C", and "D", with
"A" on the top row and "D" on the bottom row.

	The 4x4 DTMF matrix was first used with the military AUTOVON
switched voice network starting around 1963, and did not see other use
for several years.  The key designations indicated above are the AUTOVON
designations, and refer call precedence control as follows:

FO = Flash Override	highest call precedence; nudet on the horizon :-)
F  = Flash traffic
I  = Immediate traffic
P  = Priority traffic

Those are "A", "B", "C", and "D".  Valid touchtones,
just not usually found on telephones.

There are also 4 standard tones labeled A, B, C, and D.  Don't have the
tones handy but can find them if anyone is interested.  It could be that
the four tones listed above correspond to A,B,C, and D.

No need to guess, these are 'special feature' keys on a U.S. Government
Automatic Voice Network (AUTOVON) dtmf phone instrument.

	FO -- 'FLASH OVERIDE'
	F  -- 'FLASH'
	I  -- 'IMMEDIATE'
	P  -- 'PRIORITY'

I don't know what they DO; only what they ARE.

I think that some military stuff has <had?> and extra row on the 
telephone keypad for access to their stuff. Keep those pesky
civilians off the lines and all that, ya know!  <grin>

this is a wild guess from somewhere in the recesses of my memory, but...

those tones were logical completions of the 4x4 matrix of frequencies, and
while not found on most telephones were sometimes used by the military
for purposes i can't recall...

as i said, my recollection is quite fuzzy; can anyone elaborate?
