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