TPL_KUNENA_MESSAGE_CREATED Unwanted morse alarms during flight

I had a strange "issue" last flight with my heli.
Setup is with DS-16 and Mezon135rpm and SAT2 through ppm mode and Vbar.

The same setup worked without problems in my X7. I transplanted everything to my new Raptor E700 and made 8 flights with it.
During the last flight (the heli was quite near by) I hear a short beep from the Tx, followed by a few other ones too. Later I briefly hear a "low signal" voice announcement but it did not sound like the regular one I have set for low signal (set for antenne strength 1).
Luckily I also had logged the flight and antenna values were constantly between 7-9 points.
I found that I had the morse code alarms activated in the Tx. It has always been like this, also with the X7 and lots of flights.
Now I just deactivated them but I'm still a bit uncertain why it happened after so many flights.
Actually the event was even recorded. In this video you can hear it (if you turn up the volume):
1x beep @ 3:54
1x beep @ 4:01
2x beep @ 4:03
4:26 low signal warning.

Any idea what could have caused this?
Firmware version was 2.20

Hi,

I think first you must find out what means the 3 "beeps"; you have to check what this means.

Normally you can use wav- files and not the "beeps morse alarms". So there must be something with alarms etc. wish causes the beeps. This you must find out.

The Last "low signal"; please go in the setting to "0" instead of level "1".

I had similar experience. It seems as the beeps have been caused by very short voltage drops below the alarm level of the receiver which was set to 4.5 volts, e.g. caused by several digital servos starting to run simultanously. So just try to lower the alarm level within the device manager.

Here it is. low signal alarm still at level 1 here.
I also checked the log for low Rx voltage: the alarm is at V<6,6V but the log shows >7.9V all the time (was a fresh 2s lipo). So that is also not the issue.

Hi,

ok.... I thought that you have perhaps the old "T-WAV folders" in this menue. I would suggest to set the level from "1" to "0" for warning "low signal".

But we need to find the other "beep alarms".... there must be somthing else. Perhaps some alarms from speed controller Mezon ? Perhaps you look in the alarm menue and the Mezon settings?
