           OK fine. I can supply an example if you want but I was
          wondering what they wanted to see. Do you set the four lines
          BCD and then strobe another pin to load it? That is often the
          way it is done or maybe it just monitors the lines for them
          being stable and switches?<br id="FontBreak">

                  <br>
                  Never did get a response. Was trying to avoid
                  reinventing the wheel.<br>
                  <br>
                  Never thought of using the patch command to do DTMF
                  stuff. Will do some investigating.<br>
                  That's the cool thing about Allstar/Asterisk, if you
                  can think of something, there's usually a way to do
                  it.<br>
                  <br>
                  All your efforts are really appreciated.<br>

                      In researching I saw you asked the same question
                      years ago and I did not see an answer then. Did
                      you ever get one?<br>

                      <br>
                      Using the GPIO on the Pi to BCD control a radio
                      would not be hard. In fact a user has already done
                      that using function codes and an external script I
                      wrote to control the bits. It is in use
                      commercially.  <br>
                      <br>
                      The idea for the future code we are writing is to
                      get specific stuff out of the base code and put it
                      where users can create their own interfaces to
                      whatever hardware they want.<br>
                      <br>
                      Here are the basics of how I would do it....<br>
                      <br>
                      Use the patch command (with a different code) to
                      pass DTMF to a Linux script via an extensions.conf
                      dial plan.<br>
                      Then the script would take the number sent,
                      convert it to BCD or any other format the radio
                      requires<br>
                      and send it to the GPIO bits. Of course you would
                      have to interface those bits to the actual
                      hardware.<br id="ecxFontBreak">

                    <font style="" face="Tahoma,sans-serif">If you
                      needed to pass a code to a remote node you would
