I have been thoroughly enjoying my new 164 for a few days now. Figured out *most* of its functions (in spite of a truly awful manual). And have it set up more or less the way I want.
But I'd sure like to know what this "mystery beep" is that I keep hearing!
It is the same high-pitched beep you get when pressing a key, and at first I thought perhaps it was the "low battery" beep as my older RS scanners would beep the same way (but continuously). However, the low-batt icon isn't on, and the beep is very intermittent.
The closest I can come to, is perhaps it has something to do with the priority channel, but then it doesn't always seem to coincide with that. Sometimes it'll just beep once then not again for a long time, other times it'll beep what seems like every time it receives a transmission.
And the beep - when it happens - is always at the *end* of a transmission, just before it goes back to scanning.
Anyone else noticed this? It isn't a big deal, but it's like a scratch I can't reach when I have something going on that I don't understand!
