TX and RX Clear Alert Tones on APX Radios

How to enable or disable the transmit and receive clear alert tones on a Motorola APX series radios. 

Here is a follow up video to the previous one I did about the single beep your radio makes when transmitting in the clear when using an XTS or XTL series radio.

The clear alert tone is a single beep emitted when the user transmits in the clear (without voice security), and can also be enabled on the receiving audio. These tones are system wide, and can't be enabled or disabled on a per-channel basis, it's all or nothing.

  1. To get this working, open CPS and your codeplug
  2. Open the Radio Configuration section and the Secure section
  3. Open the Secure Configuration Menu, and scroll down to Features
  4. Select your option of when you want the beep from the drop down
  5. Save the codeplug, write it to the radio and profit!
