I have a friend who has a Yaesu FT-8800R transceiver That transmits a
"beep" each time he transmits. We could probably figure out how to
turn it off if we knew what the function is called...

A full reset will clear the condition but it also clears all the other
programming. Once again, if we knew what the "feature" was called we
could probably figure out how it gets turned on unintentionally.
