XTL5000 "beep" when recieving transmissions

Post by LFD57 »

Hello all, having an isssue with my XTL5000. When is scan on and scan off mode there is a "beep" about 3 seconds into the transmission of the channel talking. have tried enabling and unenabling the scan alert and alert tones but the only way i get it to go away is to lower the volume on the alert tones in the Radio wide>alert tones field. Looking for help.


Thanks

I don't know why your hearing the beep 3 seconds into the transmission. I was going to say that you have a priority channel set, but you would hear the beep at the very beginning.

Radio Configuration -> Secure -> Secure Configuration -> Advanced Tab -> RX Clear Alert Tones

The only other thing i can think of is you have it set to a priority scan channel in the scan list.
