I'd like to compile a table of DTMF memory length and whether a
keypad alphabet is printed on the TT-pad.

Anyone that wants to add to the table send in your limits and I
will build the table..

THD7 has 16 and alphabet with 1=QZ
D700 has 16 and alphabet with 1=QZ
FT470 has ?? And alphabet with 7=PQRS

(though neither the D7 or D700 will ever be used on APRStt
probably...)...
