Radio keeps beeping when I turn it on? I confirmed its not because of a low battery but something else.
A few thoughts:
If it is a long continuous beep this can be an indication of having the channel select set to a channel which is not programmed.
If it is a beep that only occurs when you press the PTT button, similar to the low battery beep, it could be a battery, battery contact, or internal battery contact issue. Clean battery contacts between radio and battery, as well as external contacts, with a pencil eraser to assure a good connection.
If it is a beep that occurs periodically when pressing the PTT button, it is possible your radio is programmed with busy-channel-lock-out (talk prohibit tone), which would not allow you to transmit on a frequency which is already in use.
Best regards.
