-
- For DTMF signalling, the tones do NOT have to be the same length as
- the quiet time, and the time does NOT have to be greater than 1/2
- second. Most DTMF receivers will test down to an on-time or an
- interdigit time of 40 ms or less, although most claim a time of 50 ms.
-
- If the tones and quiet time had to be the same length in order to be
- valid, can you IMAGINE the complexities of manually dialing a
- touchtone phone?
