DTMF - Dual Tone Multi-Frequency

DTMF
Dual Tone Multi-Frequency: Generally, a telephone signalling system employing four tones from a 'low' group, and three or four tones from a 'high' group, comprising twelve to sixteen different unique tone pairs.
Radio applications of DTMF should avoid “twist” (differences in level between tone pairs) and time-limit digits to prevent signalling errors caused by fades.
