Bluetooth Headset beeps

[sparklehorse]

FWIW my G5 performed flawlessly with the Rockrock BT adapter and JBL Flip speaker prior to the two most recent firmware updates. I confirmed it by reverting back - no beeps at the beginning of transmissions. I would have left it but that was before they fixed the priority interruption when the priority box wasn't checked problem.

That gives me some hope. I bought one of those Rockroc adapters recently based on an old post of yours, but was disappointed to find that it too had the beeping problem. I liked the Rockroc though. It would be the perfect solution for getting audio from my G5 into my car stereo via the AUX jack. But for now it's just another beep monster. Let's hope they address this in the next firmware.

My G4 has these annoying beeps, with my Plantronics headset. I seem to be missing short transmissions, or the beginning of longer ones.

I wanted to test with a BT speaker I have, but I just found out that is BT 4.0, which seems to be incompatible. (It does not show, when doing a device search, for pairing.)

You have to look for a device with a BT 2.1 protocol. No guarantees it will have clean audio, but at least it should pair up. I did some research on BT and found out that 2.1 is 10 year old protocol released in 2007. That's nice to have in a brand new device, NOT.

Bluetooth Headset Beeps

I am looking forward to an improvement on this, too.

It's the pager firmware. Earlier versions didn't have the beep.

I bought my pager in April, '16. It had the FW prior tp R11J. I experimented with quite a few different BT receiver's. Some had beeps and some did not. No FW upgrade has effected the behavior of a particular BT device. This is of course just my experience. The older BT's were primarily set up for hands free cell use and the beeps could almost make sense. Since we cant pair with anything close to a BT 4.0, we'll never really know how well it might work.

The day after I got my G5 I went out and bought BT ear buds only to find out the hard way about the beep problem.
My girlfriends desk is next to mine and she doesn't like to hear the pager audio. All the other scanners I use have headphone jacks so it was never an issue, but those scanners are hopeless on P25. I hope Unication fixes the beeps.

I see there is a speaker jack on the back of the Unication charger base. Will docking the G5 into the charger and listening with wired headphones work good for private listening?
