F4161DT - Changing the proceed tone

[tampabaynews]

Is there any way to change the proceed tone when transmitting on the F4161DT.

When transmitting on conventional digial, the proceed tone sequence is "beep beep." On conventional analog, the only way I know to set a proceed tone is by enabling MDC. The proceed tone is also "beep beep."

The reason I'm looking for a proceed tone on conventional is for an audible remember to give a break before talking away. And ahem, to prevent any embarrassing hot mics.

Don't care so much for the double beep and was wondering if it could be charged to a single beep or something else.

Thanks.

Are you wanting this for analog or digital?
If it's for digital, on that model I don't know of a way to change the beep beep to something else. On other icom models, I seem to remember there are different beeps, usually it's a long one or a short one or a short double beep.
If it's for analog, you can get pretty creative with the 5 tone signalling setting up a custom tone (doesn't have to be 5 tones) and you can also set up the timing and delay you like. This is also audible to other receiving stations however. It's not just a sidetone on the radio. If you wanted to use it in conjunction with MDC, you can actually do that on these and by default there is a delay that you might be happy with if you use 5 tone and MDC on the BOT/PRE. Again, that's for analog. For digital I think you're stuck with the nextelish beep beep.

I though so. For work it wouldn't be a big deal for other radios to hear my signaling. But on HAM radio in my area there's already too much beep boop beep garbage so I'll leave it be.

Thanks!

You can set up the timing so that most, if not all the signalling is transmitted before the repeater keys up. It's going to take some trial and error though.
