TX Beep
Select Menu 624 (APRS ‑ SOUND ‑ TX BEEP) and select “ON” to sound a beep every time the TM‑D710 transmits a
beacon or an auto‑reply message. It is convenient for monitoring the beacon transmissions when SmartBeaconing or
Decay Algorithm is used. If “OFF” is selected, the transceiver does not beep even if a beacon or an auto‑reply message
is transmitted.
