hawkeye Report post Posted October 1, 2011 I would like to buy a new set of motorola talkabout radios, but the last ones I bought I couldn't dissable the call alert or roger beep. That is the most anoying sound in the world when you are trying to use a radio. Any info on some radios that can be quieted would be apreciated. Thanks David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The darned things are blister packed so it is hard to check them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pwrguy Report post Posted October 2, 2011 Interesting, I just tried that with a radio that was driving me crazy all last weekend and it worked. So How do you turn the annoying beep back on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Report post Posted October 4, 2011 My Midland's are about 5 years old. I can turn off all beeps/noises. They also have the call-vibrate feature, which is great for silently calling your partner. I've had great luck with Midland. FYI - the "Bubba" model did not have the call-vibrate feature last time I checked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DUG Report post Posted December 5, 2011 Get an earbud with the built in microphone that clips on your collar.. That cures the beeps and alerts. You just hear it through the earbud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
