- In this very short video I will explain what D.T.M.F. tones are with regard to GMRS radios and the ham radio hobby. I will explain the definition of DTMF, I will go over the history of using DTMF tones in ham and GMRS, and I will demonstrate what DTMF tones do.

That was Timex not Casio BTW...
🙃
You were baited by a master
No, you're wrong. Casio: It takes a lickin' and it still works.
Silly person.
He said that on purpose. That's the joke.
Va perdre ton temps ailleurs asti de cave . Loll
Randy. I'm a student of the ham 🐷 radio arts, you make learning all these radio terms & technology, so much fun! 😅
I prefer the more subtle background pokes, but this one's directness is appreciated.
Even tho I know what DTMF tones are, I still watch this video because I enjoy the entertainment and all the jokes. 😢🍖,😆
@TheNotaRubicon
In a world 🌎 that takes itself entirely too seriously, your humor is very refreshing 😊.
Your videos are hilarious dude. And I always learn something. I am a ham and love that you take pokes at the more tight-assed enjoyers of the hobby.
3 blind mice was hilarious at the end when the camera went dark 😂 5:56 @NotaRubicon Productions
Okay, you got me! I heard 1940's and World War... and missed the One... but speaking of Casio, in the late 1970's, I had a Casio calculator that did play music.
I was just figuring out what D.T.M.F is and you just released this video. Thanks.
Finally explained my touch tone land line. Now I can disconnect it, fully satisfied.
Sometimes you just gotta let the good stuff go.
I inherited my grandpa's old pre WW1 Casio watch. I had to replace the pendulum, though.
Didn’t expect to think about dtms here on a Sunday but here we are.
I used to use DTMF, for Autopatch starting in 1973, as an add on to my
first Drake ML2 2 meter mobile.
I know it can be used as a control
function.
Additionally, some transceiver have
direct frequency input via DTMF pads. 😊
Yes I used auto patch on my local repeater back in the day before cellphones, great fun and I impressed my friends with it they thought I was a dork always carrying that radio around but when I got us out of a few jams from time to time or was able to call for help for a major auto accident in a remote area the dork title went away! There are still a few repeaters here in Colorado that still have an auto patch function that covers areas where cellphone coverage is bad!
All I need is a simple radio, maybe a roger beep. Then a beer near the camp fire.
I’m trying to figure out the fascination with roger beeps. I’ve heard queer truck drivers use them to locate each other on the down low. A beer near a campfire… sounds like a Broke Back Mountain scenario. Maybe there is something to that roger beep and rump rangers after all…
Yessss thank you. I was hoping you’d do a video like this. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge!
Love the sign! Love the shirt!! I want a shirt!!
Oh and I love you attitude!!! You’re great!
I'm glad you made this video I've always wanted to figure this out but learn it from a very entertaining UA-camr
Confuckulation is my new favorite word!
And yet Randy nails it again!
The radio on the right was run without an antenna for 10 seconds straight. Just crazy.
I hope Farsometer 2000’s will be back in stock in time for Xmas.
the information in this video is valid and true.
-expert
I think I know that song, "Three sad hams, see how they type". Right?
I'm not even a radio guy, but I'm here for the laughs.
DTMF tones are used to trigger relays, activation of cross band repeaters, and phone patches
We used *88, #88 to activate and deactivate the crossband repeaters
We also used * on our simplex phone patch frequency to activate the phone dial tone.
To hang up we used #
We also used tones to call different people
So in my Kenwood TK-250 and TK-350 I have my personal unit number so I can be paged if I am not active on the radio.
It beeps just like a pager
The other great thing to own is a 2-tone pager, so you can have a lot of different people with their own tones
And we can have a group tone
SO 313 pages all the people in our zone
1090, 515 pages a specific person
So you can use 1 frequency and talk to a lot of people without bothering anyone else.
Beedoop (Roger that)
A pager would be nice if you're active on a repeater. While one way pages are against the rules, but if you're calling someone, it's ok.😊
Of thought about a Minotaur, but I'll probably get an Uniction, because it can scan too.
You forgot to include how long you've been a ham operator.
Timex my brother.
You beat me to it. 😅
Humor, it is a difficult concept.
Whooosh........... I could hear Randy punking you two guys all the way over here in the state of chicago @@cuzofsloth @denniscrowley8517
Half the reason I watch these are to see what pencils he’ll put where and try and reason why he’s moving a particular one around and then I like to think on his end he’s thinking what if I just shuffle this around what are they going to think I’m doing…..and, well, hopefully u know what I’m talking about. A true mastery
Tnx for the video. How can we see the numbers on Baofeng UV9 (the receiver radio's screen) when using DTMF from one radio to another,
Thanks for your video. It's funny but all the polish YT experts with the ham operator license called "some people" did not explain what this function is and what for is. Their words: “hmmm... just skip it". But the most important thing is to tell the world at the beginning of every single video is "You can't use this radio. It's only for people who have the ham operator license" and at this moment I feel like a piece of .... then I hide in my wardrobe and start crying 😂
I must always laugh when I watch the videos. Thanks again.
My favorite song to "touch tone" play is "Mary Had a Little Lamb".
Tks but I have been using them. Keep up the good work, enjoy your dry humor.
I just graduated the notarubicon institute and received my boofwhang with honors
That’s pretty cool, Randy😊
New vidéo in short time, oh Yes !
Omg Randy what happened to your KG-935G screen is shattered and the radio looms Melted 😮 holy smokes 🔥 2:38 @NotaRubicon Productions
Did you not watch all the video? 4:00
@@craigdavidson2977yes i did watch the entire video My comment was left before It was mentioned How about you read the other Several comments I left on the video.. which shows I seen the explanation.
Hah! I worked for two brothers who owned a tennis club. Westroads Racquet club in Omaha. 1977. they got their money from their father who worked at Western Electric, and had the patent for this. They would have $10,000 Backgammon games with friends when I left.
I love the 1.5x speed setting
4:56 nice.
Im impressed that KG-935G still turns on with all the burned and melted plastic and The cracked screen that is badly shattered Impressive Randy how much you did to it and it kept ON ticken 2:40 @NotaRubicon productions
Informative video however it was WWII that took place in the 1940’s and it was TIMEX that came up with the slogan “It Takes a Licking and Keeps On Ticking” starting in 1956. I was 6 then.
Are you sure? I think you'd better check your facts again. Please don't spread misinformation on this channel.
Yer not from around here, are ya.
Thank you!
Dual tone multi function tones were on old 1970s phones
I’m glad it still Woux.
Hi, ur so funny ! love it ! have a nice day !
The ham radio program "EchoLink", commoly uses DTMF tones.
(Echolink provides an internet link so Hams can easily talk around the world, with other Echolink users. This can be done via a PC, phone / tablet, and via a Radio & Repeater, or an at home Simplex Repeater!)
The tones are used to operate the program, from a radio. DTMF tones allow access, dial various stations, and other program functions.
Its a simple, easy, and stable system. Its pretty cool, because I can sit in my back yard with my HT, sipping a cold bevv-erãge 🥃, all while chatting with a chum in England! 🇬🇧 (God save the King!)
PHEW!
Thanks for deconfuculating me.
I thought someone was telling me:
Don't
Talk
Mother
F*****
😂🤣😂🤣
By any chance would anyone be able to tell me if yinitone RC-308 repeater box using two radios would increase transmission distance?
used DTMF in the 1970's on React GMRS.
Can these fancy noises transmit your gmrs call sign so you dont have to say it?
Technically yes, but legally no. Voice, or CW.
Play Mary had a little ham
Looks like ol kg935g can take a f@#$ing and keep on trucking. I had some high school teachers like you back in the 70s . You make learning fun 👍
Don't call us, We'll call you - Sugarloaf Btw, nice vid
Can these tones also be used to make free calls at payphones?
Blue boxing has been a thing for quite sometime
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Not anymore.
Sad phreakers don't want you to know.... I don't have DTMF tones on my radio so I have to whistle or use my genuine vintage captain krunch whistle....
Many of the IEDs in Afghanistan were turned on and detonated using the DTMF function of the Icom radio as a remote control.
👍👍👍 Thanks ! 🇨🇱
I was afraid that the Roger tone had become passe, and we would never hear it again, but there it is!
I was always taught that DTMF stood for Down To M********y F**k
I can't believe he didn't play "Funkytown". 🤦
I've never been disappointed in Randy before.
Last night I heard some guys talking on gmrs channel 19, and they were using a repeater channel aswell but supposedly they were from Texas and Louisiana, I'm in California, is that distance on gmrs actually possible
I am struggling to understand what that has to do with DTMF tones, which is what everyone is talking about here.
If your repeater has a zello bridge, and you know the dtmf code to turn it on, you can tunnel through the internet anywhere in the world.
@TheNotaRubicon sorry for wasting your precious comment space, I'll see myself out... over and out
@craigdavidson2977 I don't have a repeater nor am I setup for any around me, it's my first GMRS radio and I heard these guys on channel 19 chatting it up about the weather down in Texas but I was close to a huge electric tower maybe that was it, just figured I'd ask here since I'm not currently active on any GMRS social medias
pretty sure in college one of my many MDC radio IDs was 69420 lol
Thanks for this & all your videos! Now...."Sad Hams" can take their now defunct touch tone telephones, screw an antenna on them and talk to anonymous men halfway around the world 🌎.
What about the Gay Mobile Radio Service? Are you fellas using roger beeps to summon, and talk to, strange men from around the world? Don’t be hatin’ on Sad Hams if their technology is more advanced and nets them more swingin’ Richard’s than you boys can muster.
This must be your 10th comment on my videos going on and on about roger-beeps and gay men. Just come out of the closet and get it over with already.
@@TheNotaRubicon I think you called it right, Randy. Derek be on the 'down low'. He is struggling to keep a lid on it. Perhaps we sould take up a collection and get him a subscription to Grindr for christmas.
It sure doesn't take much to trigger the snowflakes! @@TheNotaRubicon ❄
@@TheNotaRubicon - I just call 'em like I see 'em! I'm ecstatic about roger beeps, actually. It helps me identify who the pole smokers are and steer clear of them. My gaydar isn't tuned as well as it use to be when I was in my 20's. Back then I could spot a faggot approaching from afar and avoid him like a Jehovah's witness knocking on my door. Now, I can rely on roger beeps to assist me with avoiding them. Just want to say "thanks" for using those cute little beeps so the rest of the heterosexual world can be warned whenever you "guys" are planning your next glory hole meeting.
Haha love this
That Wouxun Ocean is seriously confuckulated.
What kinda jeep Cherokee do you have. Or rubicon???
In a previous video, Randy confirmed that it is not a Rubicon. Hence, the channel name. That being said, I don't recall what his vehicle actually is but you could do a search of his earlier uploads.
I had a 1960 cj3 Willis and still own a 1983 cj7
I thought that meant Don't Touch My Fries.
I think your history info is somewhat incorrect.😊
...but I want the 3 blind mice tone as my roger beep!😂👍
Subscribing for "confucularity"
Gen Z and millennials will never know Casio's real slogan or that company's 😂😂😂😂.
❤
I almost became a sad ham when I heard "it takes a licking and keeps on going."
Several others in the comments were not as wise and could not control themselves.
You know you’re just asking for a bunch of sad Hams to comment!
I thought he was going to send 58008.
and you said you would never waste my time????guessing im not really your faverite fan ether
Your radios are not lined up. The one on the right is crooked
Down to make f-ulation
Poor wouxon 😔
Maybe I missed something, as I was prepping dinner while watching, but WW2 was in 39-45, or 42-45 for you lazy Americans. WW1 ended in 1918……but probably I missed a joke somewhere in there while chopping mushrooms. 🙂
Congrats! You just got punked. That happens to lazy non-Americans all the time.
Always thought it stood for don't talk mother f er
Great! I am no longer confuckulated.
Don't Touch My F... Oh never mind.
3 blind mice.. what do I win 😆
Am I the only one who rememners VJ Day being 1945?
can i get a not a rubicon tshirt. i have a not a rubicon.
Oh, yes, that would be fun - a tee shirt that says "Randy has a Rubicon but all I got is this tee shirt" (Editors note: Randy's lovely bride does indeed have a Rubicon)
3 Blind mice
3 blind sad hams, See how they run! 😁
Yes I liked my own comment! Deal with it...
Down To Motha Fuckin......
something
hot cross buns?
HYTMF #beep
Don’t touch my fanny ?
See how they run 😂
What? it's De Tone Mother F'kr ... jeees! 4:08 the pencil isn't straight! To be knerdy, think of Prime Number's they can't be mixed and matched and confused with each other Nor can these f'k'r's! ..they is Pure Sound! even my fav 5R can handle them.
Three blind mice 😊
It’s the tone I emit to attract your lonely mothers.
Three blind mice?
1940s WW 1 ?????
D.T.M.F = Dont touch Mother trucker.... LOL
And CTCSS tones work better with the wrist stap attached.
And even better if you chew your pencil...
three blind mice
WTF tones
LOL
MOIST!
