I need advice on programming my radio.

First, the unit displays "Int" at the memory channel number location...
whether in VFO or MRO or home channel mode. =A0 I've gone through the
manual several times and can't find mention of this signal. What does it
mean and how do I get rid of it?

Second, folks complain because a tone sounds when I key my mike... I
guess it's some kind of page. =A0 I can't eliminate it. =A0 I tried
going to 03 BEEP... the key beeper feature... but enabling or disabling
doesn't eliminate the tone every time I key the mike. =A0 Is this a
feature I'll have t live with?

Third, everyone's but my radio double tones after a message is sent on
the local repeater... so I can't tell if I'm tripping the repeater or
not.

My Icon handheld works just fine... but then the manual was easie for me
to understand. =A0 I seem to lose my directions with the FT2800M book.

If you can't help me can you tell me who to contact for help?

Many thanks

Sounds like one of the settings in the menu has been brung up...Maybe the
Internet selection since its wires capable?

Anyway look in the manual and try resetting the radio....that should turn
everything off in case you cant figure it out and bring it back up on a
frequency in vfo mode?? It will wipe out all your settings and memories
though??
