Just installed the fresh off the charger batteries n almost instantly am getting the alert tone...?
Now am starting to wonder if this alert tone is for something else?
It's a quick hi/low hi/low hi/low n it's speratic.......bout every minute or two n sometimes longer
A few times it's done it back to back ....wth?
Ha! I'm at a loss here as I've never set any alert tones but it does sound like you have set some on some talkgroups or systems.
I'm not sure but I think there is setting in EZ Scan software under the General Settings tab that allows you to turn the alerts off or set how they work on a global level.
May be worth looking there.
I'd also imagine each system or channel/talkgroup within a system can also be set too alert on reception. I'm not sure if the ez scan setting overides that but I think it does.
You may need to use ez scan and go through each of your scanlists and look for the alert setting. I thinik you may have to look in the Scanlists, Conventional Frequencies and Trunked Radio Systems tab. It looks like each tab has an alert option that can be set per channel or frequency or talkgroup or scanlist.
I would think it would only sound the alert on only the systems you enabled it so watch the display and take note of what is talking when you also hear the alert. That shoul help you find it in ezscan. Unless you somehow enabled alerts on everything
Make sure your squelch knob is set high enough so the radio is not thinking it is receiving a signal.
Another option would be to reset everything back to defaults and then start over by adding your systems back in while making sure you do not set some global alert at the same time.
If you do not have a ton of systems, I'd just go through them all in ezscan and turn the alert off for each one you find.
Good luck on this one!
