we got it figured-out.
The internet connect feature was activated. This explained the 'brief 0.1 sec DTMF tone' that could be heard at the beginning of every transmission. I think they might have made it a little too easy to activate on the 8800R for a feature we'd rarely use—if ever.
what are you looking for help for with the 8800R? i have both an 8800 and an 8900. great radios and i am reasonably good with them.
