feniex typhoon programming question

[bpollard]

I have acquired a Feniex Typhoon handheld. I have gotten the buttons set with the tones I want. The Mechanical tone works OK, but I want to know if there is a way to make the Mech tone "wind up" while the button is pressed, and "wind down" or coast down when the button is released.

currently it just cuts off immediately when the button is released

Any ideas?

thanks
Bob

set the button as momentary by pressing on it before powering up the unit

Thanks for the tip. I tried that , but it still basically does the same thing except when in momentary it just goes up and when you release the button it chops it off immediately.

i want the mechanical tone to operate like the Manual wail. It goes up while the top button is held then cycles down after you release it.

Maybe it's just the way it works i guess

Isn't it a tone you can set as one of the manual buttons? My guess it probably won't.. I don't know why they didn't make the tone wind up more .. it sounds like a screaming cow...

Today I called Feniex support. Got very prompt, courteous, personal service. That means so much. The gentleman who spoke to me even inquired about my family's safety and our community's.

The mechanical tone does not, and will not, work in this manner. Also, he told me that there are no plans to modify that tone in any way. Seems like that subject has come up before..............

Anyway, I really like their products and their service so to me this is no big deal. What the heck, I can still play Night Rider.................
