Not a dumb question, but sure as hell a DUMB feature
Tis Wires beep necessary when using WIRES (Wide-Coverage Internet Repeater
Enhancement System).
To disable, press the volume control on the lower left of the rig. See page
52 of the manual
http://www.yaesu.com/

We had a demo station at the San Diego Fair that beeped every time they
transmitted
Almost every time a repeater cop just had to tell them - ya gotta beep on
your signal

Using the on-line manual - took two hours to figure out how to disable it

And if you think that is dumb -- wait until someone uses the ARTS feature on
your repeater
ARTSTM: Auto Range Transponder System .... page 46

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.
