provided the VGS-1 is installed and configured. Menu 624 (APRS - SOUND - APRS VOICE) must be configured On.

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.
