An autopatch, sometimes called a phone patch, is a feature of an amateur radio repeater, two-way radio, or base station to access an outgoing telephone connection. Users with a transceiver capable of producing touch tones (DTMF signals) can make a telephone call, typically limited by settings in the autopatch module to be only to flat-rate numbers, such as local calls or toll-free numbers.
