OpenGD77

The Sound options Prompt setting has the following options, which control the beeps and voice prompts

None. No beeps at all from the radio
Normal. All beeps are the same sound frequency / pitch)
Beep. Beeps have 2 different pitches depending on things like whether the channel or TG selected was the first in the list.
Voice 1. Voice prompts only on menus and when button SK2 is pressed
Voice 2. Almost the same as Voice 1 apart from the "follow on" when you press the button while the previous prompt is already playing
Voice 3. Voice prompts play immediately for everything.



Anyway. I do not know whether the "Normal" option is really necessary, as the "Beep" is an improved version of the "Normal" in that it give better audio feedback.

As far as I can see, the only reason to keep the "Normal" (single frequency beeps), would be if a lot of people objected to the different pitch tones when selecting the first item in the menus or TG etc

agree, either call the "Beep" Normal and drop Beep, or drop the Normal..

I think beep is OK.

I can't remember what it was called prior to the different pitch beeps being added (a few months ago)

I think "Beep" is more descriptive than "Normal"

Normal could be removed. Beep, option with two different pitches of tone, I find very useful.

I agree with Marko on this. The two tone beeps are more useful than the normal mode.

This will be removed in the next development release
