Hi all,
I am working with some APX portable radios for the first time and am receiving a tone on one of them (APX6000 3.5) that is unfamiliar to me, and doesn't seem to match any of the described tones in the user's manual. I'm hoping someone can help me.
The tone is a very short high-pitched chirp followed by two short medium-tone beeps (medium being the same tone that keypresses make). It's doing it while the radio sits idle in front of me, receiving no transmissions, maybe once a minute or once every two minutes. It doesn't sound like the standard Moto battery chirp, and the battery has a decent charge.
The radio is a demo from the local radio shop with a rather simple codeplug - just three talkgroups on the new P25 radio system in town. Virtually no menu features or options - no scan, no encryption (though I am led to believe encryption is loaded, there's no switch settings to enable it), no RSM, etc - pretty much all the features I can access are the backlight, PTT, channel select (for those 3 groups), clock, and RSSI (and site scan with a long press).
There's also no indication on the screen of something happening, which I would expect if this audio alert was trying to tell me something (like Site Trunking, Received Individual Call, etc).
Any ideas? (and thanks in advance)
