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

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.

since It was a portable - that's exactly what I did.... I just cant help but think that it's doing some kind of damage with all that going on... I'm sure it isn't though...

ok... crisis solved.

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.

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