G4 sending short tone on some talk groups

[pandel]

Since updating my firmware, I have noticed that my G4 is sending a short (1/2 sec) tone on some talk groups within a specific system. This also happens in one other system, but not in a third system. All settings are exactly the same for all groups and systems.
What I can't understand is why one agency within a system would suddenly start causing a tone while another agency within the same system does not??
Any ideas ?

On Group ID Setting 5 tab, check if alert tone is programmed for those talkgroups.

Yes, it is on. When I tried to turn it off, it turned the speaker off for the entire system.
That's what is so puzzling. I'm monitoring the Hillsborough County 700mhz P25 Phase II system which includes HCSO and Tampa Police. Both are set exactly the same. HCSO works perfectly. TPD has the tone.
I'm also listening to the Pinellas County 800mhz P25 Phase I system. Both agencies, PCSO and SPPD, have the alert tone but TECO, another 800 P25 Phase II system is perfect. Go figure???

On Pager Configuration Setting 8 tab, you can turn alert tones all of the way down to mute them.

Thanks, I went back and looked at it again and sure enough it was tab 5. You were right some of them were somehow set to tone. I've been looking at that stuff all day and still missed it!
THANKS!!

Tone and None look very much alike.
