Hello all! I need some help. I am trying to control a cat200 repeater controller via dtmf. It is its own node. I have my other node (uhf repeater)connected to it, from which i would like to send the commands from. I have tried the *4 and the node number. And then i hear “By your command”. But dtmf is not making it to the controller. It is making it to the other node, because I can issue it commands. It is just not passing through the other node, which i would like for it to do. Any thoughts?
to the rpt.conf file on the node that has the cat200b controller attached to it. Also on both of my other nodes that are connected via the allstar system i have added
propagate_dtmf=yes
to there rpt.conf files. I have done a restart on all the nodes, and still not getting the dtmf to pass through. When the dtmf passes through you should be able to hear it on the output of the repeaters, right? As long as it is not started with a (*) then the node would try to act on the dtmf. The cat200b controller is in remote base weather mode, and does not require COR, or PL to act, all it is looking at is the Tx audio from the usb fob, which goes into the Rx port on the controller. So all the controller needs to hear is the DTMF audio, but its not getting there. The controllers Tx audio is connected to the Rx audio on the usb fob, and I know thats working because I hear the controller identify itself with its version when I power cycle it. I am probably doing something wrong, so hopefully someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

You have to send digits to the node that has the propagate_dtmf, and it will output them.
For example, if the node that has that set up is 1234, then you need, once you link to it
from a different node, do a *41234 (into command mode for node 1234), then whatever
digits you send to it will go out the main interface for node 1234.
to the rpt.conf file on the node that has the cat200b
controller attached to it. Also on both of my other nodes that
are connected via the allstar system i have added
propagate_dtmf=yes
to there rpt.conf files. I have done a restart on all the
nodes, and still not getting the dtmf to pass through. When the

I am banging my head against the wall, this has me stumped. I have googled this idea every which way, and everyone says dtmf_propagate=yes, well I did that, I did that on every node I have, I have to be missing something. I have also tried *4 remote cmd mode, and then send the dtmf, and # to end the remote cmd mode, but that doesn’t seem to work either.

FYI,
I have the same problem and have tried everything indicated below
with no luck. It can’t be this complicated can it?
