- Hello,
- As some of you may or may not know when a number is pressed on
- the key pad of a telephone two tones are emitted, I wish to copy the
- resulting sound to make a autodialer but- I am told by the people in
- telecom land that the resultant frequencie is NOT the average. I know
- that SIN (x + y) = SIN(x)COS(y) + COS(x)SIN(y) but when i plot this
- on my plotting program for say the frequencies of say 1209, 657 it just
- evaluates the numbers and draws a straight line parallel to the x axis,
- is the y value of this line the resultant freq? ie:
-
- SIN (1209 + 657) = SIN(1209)COS(657) + COS(1209)SIN(657)
-
- I know that I should be able to figure this one out by myself but cannot
- and are getting very frustrated. Any help in the form of dummy proof
- explinations would be very much appreciated.

- PS the question is: A) is the freq. the average?
- B) whats the equation?
