[arm-allstar] Sending tones and Documentation

[Kipton Moravec]

I am working on sending pager tones for when we go to Skywarn nets.

Our county has two sets of pager tones that we use for historical purposes.

In addition we send a DTMF A tone, which turns on the speaker on some 
people's radio somehow.

If we start a Skywarn net the pager tones can wake people up, (or at an 
EOC if they have a Motorola radio) and turn on the speaker.

Looking at https://www2.hamvoip.org/allstar_functions.pdf it lists the 
functions but not the format of the commands.

So someone told me the commands I am looking for are:

901=cop,48,!330.5/1000,!349.0/3000 ; Send two tone paging sequence: 
Motorola codes 110,111
902=cop,48,!634.5/1000,!707.3/3000 ; Send two tone paging sequence: 
Motorola codes 122,124

903=cop,48,A/2000                             ; Send DTMF A tone for 2 
seconds

The first two work. How am I supposed to guess the format? Where is it 
documented? it is not documented in the .pdf above.

The last one does not work.  I think it keys but no sound

So I tried

903=cop,48,A

Still no sound.

Found this link: 
http://www.chrishoodblog.com/pass-dtmf-through-allstar-to-rc-210-repeater-controller/
which said

The syntax is as follows:
DTMF command through Allstar = cop,48,DTMF,DTMF,DTMF

EX…
880 = cop,A,1,1
You key up send *880 and release
Allstar will generate A 1 1 and send it out the radio, but not back 
across the Allstar network.

So I tried:

903=cop,48,A,A,A,A,A,A,A  ; 7 A

and I heard 6 A tones. So the first one is silent?

I do not have any commands that start with the DTMF A. I thought that 
may be the issue.

If the first one is silent maybe I should try

903=cop,48,A,A/2000

No sound.

How am I supposed to figure out how this works?
