So if you plan on using these radios with any other gmrs or frs radios then youll want to spend the extra few dollars for the programming cable and download the programming software from retevis

You can disable the privacy tones by holding down the pf2 and ptt buttons when you turn it on and waiting for the beep or beeps and you can turn off the tones that way and i absolutely commend them for providing that way without software or programming cable to the consumer

But id really like for them to stop sending the units with tones preprogrammed
