Under "General Settings" using the Radioddity software there is "Voice Alert" box. That turns off the voice. I have the Radioddity GM-30 and the Baofeng GM-15. They are the same radio with some minor cosmetic and waterproofing differences, and a different antenna adapter. They have worked pretty well for $25 radios. I had no problems using the Radioddity software for both.

I have ELAC programed in, but I don't think I have picked up a signal. I will definitely try El Paso Peak. I think I am getting reception from the Mesa Crest repeater. I don't mind paying to have access. appreciate your input!

Sorry for not replying. I'm in Pasadena, and there are two powerful repeaters in the area owned by the same person. I have made requests, and I will just have to wait it out. I did receive a nice email from WRXP381. Otherwise, the radios I purchased work well for communicating simplex with my hiking partner in the mountains.

If I could get access to the two repeaters in my area of LA, I'd be a happy man.
