Alert Beep Options

The ARTS
feature allows two kinds of alert beeps (with the additional option of turning them
off), so as to alert you to the current status of ARTS
and the potential annoyance associated with frequent beeps, you may choose the Beep
mode which best suits your needs. The choices are:
INRANG: The beeps are issued only when the radio first confirms that you are within range,
but does not re-confirm with beeps thereafter.
ALWAYS: Every time a polling transmission is received from the other station, the alert beeps
will be heard.

status.
