Dear list,

maybe not really an Asterisk question, but... all my users dial in via
PSTN (via SIP DIDs) and enter a target number via DTMF through my
Asterisk 1.4. Out of about 150,000 calls per month I see on average
about 1 call per month where an arbitrary caller enters the letter 'A'
via DTMF. These callers use their mobile phones to dial in. I just
reread the Wikipedia article on DTMF but I don't understand how someone
can send an 'A'. Any clue?

Thank you!
Markus

A is a valid DTMF "digit", chances are your PBX is detecting the digit wrong. If you have relaxdtmf enabled, disable it. If that doesn't help, play with the audio gains. Too loud or too soft can cause DTMF issues.
