Loud squeal while programming CDM/HT 1550

Post by giguchan »

All,
just a quick question... is there anyway to lower the loud Squeal you get when the SW has completed the programming? I cant remember if the CDM'S have exactly the same sound.. but it is just as loud.
if there is a way fine -if not I'll continue to live with it..
Thanks
Radios by Fisher-Price? Never!!!
I use /\/\otorola!!
Cheers

I have been programming them for 4 years now, and I have not found a way to fix that yet. The Commercial Series does much the same thing.

Oh it was great fun when we were narrowbanding several hundred HT750/1250s and EX500/600s at several different customer sites! We just put our hands over the speakers or put them face-down on some cloth as they all do it.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one.... A few hundred? I think I would have passed out ear plugs for everyone!
