 If you are not seeing response or seeing poor or error response from
entered DTMF tones on the client screen the problem is usually always one
of two things. Either your rx level is not set correctly - item 2 on the
simpleusb-tune-menu screen or you do not have deemphasis set correctly.
Again the setting is in simpleusb-tune-menu.

Make sure you check several input radios as it is possible the transmitting
radio has bad DTMF. The Baofengs need a setting as they do not mute the
speaker and it feeds back to the mic. See-
