Weird HT1250 VHF Power up tones.

I have a VHF HT1250 that has weird power up tones. When I power it up after it being either in the charger over night or off for a few hours, it has almost a morse code set of beeps that sound at times like a Z or D or T. If I press any button, it stops and the radio is fine. I've gone through the programming a hundred times to see if I toggled something wrong but everyting is set like all my 1250's. I eve changed fronts from full to limited and it's the same. Radio works fine otherwise.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Maybe you should check this: In the CPS goto the RADIO CONFIGURATION section click on the ALERT TONES tab. You will have an option for POWER UP TONE TYPE. The options are

disabled normal or musical

. Change it to normal and you will get the regular two beeps on startup. Hope this helps.

Check the reminder alarm settings.

Thanks. I checked both the POWER UP TONE TYPE and the ALARM SETTINGS. That wasn't the problem. It's just a puzzle to me. Sounds like the letter Z in Morse most of the time. Thanks for your input.

I rechecked the ALARM SETTINGS, and I'll be darned - it was set to on! I don't know how the heck it happened, I don't ever remember having it on. I think one of my partners played an April fools joke on me, tried to make me crazy.

Thanks for your help.
