You can't. The best workarounds that I know of are... ... turn the knob just far enough to allow the power to be switched on at the very lowest volume. Wait until the power-on beep occurs (you can still barely hear them) and then turn the volume up to the desired level. ... insert a 2.5mm plug into the 2.5mm part of the speaker/mic socket while powering on the radio. While the plug is in the socket the internal speaker is disconnected. Remove the 2.5mm plug a few seconds after the radio is powered on to reconnect the internal speaker. > > Is there a way to turn off the alarm sound and light? Not locally. If you set menu 32 (AL-MOD) to SITE, at least the awful alarm will not be transmitted over-the-air. Some BTech models (a Baofeng like radio model sold by Baofeng Tech - a radio dealer in the USA) have settings to disable some or all of the alarm. For example, both the BTech GMRS-V1 and BTech MURS-V1 models have added an OFF setting to AL-MOD which disables the alarm. Unfortunately the BTech UV-5X3 only has a setting to disable the alarm sound. The AL-MOD menu must to set to SITE to prevent the alarm from going out over the air and the lights will still flash locally. Believe me, if there was a way discovered that would allow CHIRP to disable this awful feature, it would be implemented. ;-) Jim KC9HI _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to arch...@mail-archive.com at arch...@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscr...@intrepid.danplanet.com
