[aprssig] D700 funny business - sometimes beeps when should transmit?

[Mike Galgano]

Busy is not up, and a nearby HT with open squelch is free of APRS 
traffic. This is a not transmit-attempt situation on a busy receive. It 
beeps, as if receiving traffic with a different beep setting, but it is 
scheduled to transmit. Not a missed digi cycle, it is a missed transmit 
opportunity, signaled by a beep. I was wondering what might be broke, 
and if a reset/reload will help. It should be silent except when hearing 
my digi'd packet, as you noted. It IS NOT transmitting when it is 
supposed to. This is not my first D700, I have experience of the correct 
behavior.

thanks,
