Transmitting DTMF Tones
The KG-S88G provides a way to send pre-configured DTMF tones via a program-
mable function (PF) key. First, assign a PF key to the CALL option (pp. 64-66).
This is available as an option for the [PF1], [PF2] or the [TOP] key. The programming
software allows the defining of up to 20 Call ID tones. Each channel can be assigned a
Call ID tone using the CALL-ID item in the programming software.
Pressing the assigned CALL key will transmit the Call ID tone defined for the channel.
There is no need to hold the PTT while pressing the CALL key.
Alert Tone (Single-Tone Pulse Frequency)
Some repeaters require a tone burst to be transmitted to signal the repeater to transmit.
This is not often used in the United States and is more common in Europe.
The KG-S88G supports this functionality. Use the ALERT menu option (page 60)
to select the specific hertz of the tone that is needed (1750Hz is most common and is
the default). To send the tone, press the [PF2] side key while transmitting.
