nokones Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 I remember them well back in the Micor days. I use to carry a box of various reeds around and change them out along with the channel elements (crystals) in my company car when I traveled from one zone to a different zone.

WSAY435 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 I just got a new BTech GMRS-50V2 and the radio is sending out a roger beep which I can't seem to find the option to turn off. I researched the manual that came with it, Looked for the option in chirp and also a google search turns up nothing about a menu option to turn this off. Anyone have a clue?

OffRoaderX Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 You wont find it in the manual because the 50V2 (at least, the one that I had) does not have a Roger Beep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if not then menu 20 and tell it not to send an ID. You could be sending an ID at the end of PTT. This has several options. You want to turn it off.

It's a two tone beep that I hear when I stop transmitting and I have another radio to monitor my transmission and it definitely is transmitting the tones.

Ok.. Mine did not do that.. It's not in the user-manual because this radio does not have a Roger Beep.. So yours must be defective. What did BTech Support have to say?

What did BTech Support have to say? Well that sucks. I originally tried to buy this radio off of Amazon but they instead sent me a UV-25X2 two times in a row (which I still need to return) and I finally bought it off eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some repeaters have a courtesy tone that you hear when you or the other person let go of the PTT button. The purpose of the courtesy tone is so you don't have to let the repeater drop every time before speaking. WSAY435 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
