I think you're right. Voice sounded like APRS TT and it repeated a few times - I didn’t check it once a min or not

Tried it tonight with the D72A and sent DTMF on VFO B. A couple of times
I heard “APRS TT” or “APRS Repeat” after transmitting. Might have been a coincidence. I looked at the page and didn’t see my call listed so assume it was for someone else

Malking a DTMF grid report is trivial from any dual band radio and
requires no mode changes.
ONce you have loaded your grid and callsign into a DTMF memory, all you
have to do is
change the VHF uplink to 145.980 and downoink on 145.825 and when the
bird is in view,
TX the DTMF memory and listen for the VOICE response.
You should also hear the APRS packet response and display it if the
downlink is set for APRS.
PSAT2 report that Grids have been captured from these stations:

PSAT2 appears to be operating normally after awakening on 26 April from a 9 month sleep. All VHF and UHF functions are intact. The APRS digi is off to encourage experimentation with other modes. Such as DTMF Grids, PSK31, SSTV relay, HF voice SSB uplink, UHF FM down.
The latest Bulletin from PSAT2 on May 1 shows these callsigns have used the DTMF Gridsquare report or sent a DTMF message. The goal of this mode is to allow anyone with ANY radio to do a digital communication without having to have a specialized APRS data mode. ALl you need is a DTMF memory to store your callsign digits.

The latest QSO counter is 25.
