Hello- We have tried 2 different methods to pass DTMF over our repeater system to control our SRS controllers. (propagate\_dtmf and pager tone using COP 48) Our goal is: hit #123 on any repeater to Allstar, for #123 to come out intact on every port, including ASL endpoints (places where an RTCM (ASL node) is connected to a controller port. Ideally, it would be nice if it would just allow the # DTMF to pass through, instead of doing any muting whatsoever. We have successfully got it to pass all DTMF digits, except #, using the ‘propagate\_dtmf’ flag in rpt.conf. Any suggestions or info appreciated- 73 Clifford KK6QMS ---

Found this by searching this site. See if it helps. > [@Dtmf pass through](https://community.allstarlink.org/t/dtmf-pass-through/9732): > > CC: 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… ---

Mike mentioned he sort of found a way but requires certain controllers on both ends not RTCM on one side and SRS on the other. (or something like that) Anyway- frustrating something so simple seems so hard to do. Thx for the assistance. 73 ---
