Tried that one and not a thing, only mods for Galaxy radios. :'(

I would give some of the sponsers a call and see if they could help ....

I'm sure other techs here could answer the question better, especially considering I'm not sure if the 2980 and 2990 use the same or similar boards.

There's a resistor about half-way down the side of the board nearest the speaker. Adding a resistor in series (inline) with that will either increase or decrease the beep time. Putting one in parallel (one on top of the other) will do the opposite.

Sorry, I modded my Saturn Turbo to do it, but it's been 10 years since I've had that radio. If you figure it out, you can also add a switch which will allow you to use the stock beep, or your modified one at any time.
