Hi Matt - The beeps occur DURING my transmissions but I don't see any reduction in RF output (at least, according to the bar-graph display). The rig is used mobile so checking for actual RF output level with a wattmeter is a little difficult. However, I did notice that the radio was getting very warm despite the cooling fan. I guess it could be an SWR issue although I had quite a good antenna match on both VHF and UHF when I first installed the radio.... Regards, Keith VA3QF>>
