Setting MENU 8 back to ON returns audio to normal. This does not affect any other function of the radio. Only the Keypad Beep. DETAILS Battery Level indicator added Pressing the ZERO key displays the battery voltage level Entering the 7th / 8th frequency digit is now predicted. The  
is no longer required.The Step setting now only impacts scanning. Cloning capability has been removed. Scanning for CTCSS and DCS tones require that Menu 10 (DCS) or Menu 11 (CTCSS) need to be set to something other than OFF to perform the scan. N5R-213 / N5R-313 (Sept 2014) Keypad Beep issue resolved
