Roger beep

Me too in fact I used to be one of them MANY years ago. As time went on things went down hill and I moved on. Unfortunately about five or ten years after I moved on regulations changed so that anybody that could memorize the answers to a few questions could get their ticket and a whole bunch that I tried to get away from got their tickets and showed up on the local 2m repeater carrying on in their 11m ways with the 10 codes etc. They were amazed as everybody on the repeater was all S-9 or so. Dolts had no comprehension of a repeater versus direct comms. The straw that broke the camels back was the guy that asked how to wire up his D104 to his 2m radio. A lot of them are still around. Once in a while I sit back and listen to them spew garbage that they consider antenna and propagation facts. They don't know shit. After about ten minutes I turn the dial. Total idiots is what they are. Maybe I am jaded but if that is the case I have good reason. No respectable ham uses that repeater any more. It has been dubbed the 11m CB repeater.

Rhymes nicely:

The Elev-en Me-ter
C-B Re-peat-er

That’s up there with keying the mike and telling that one-stack Mack to clear the passing lane.

A status symbol? So that means it's not annoying. Doesn't make a bunch of noise on the band either? Haha.

The roger beep first appeared in radios used for the Apollo spaceflight program. Power consumption had to be held to the absolute minimum, especially for space-suit radios. This dictated the use of sideband. With no carrier to clue the other party that he can now be heard, mission control needed a way to prevent keying on astronauts a quarter-million miles away. I remember it being called the "NASA beep" a very long time ago.

But not any time recently.

The Browning squeal was made by accident. Then they came out for a fix for that defect. Some people insist that they must squeal. The truth shall set YOU free. hahahaha
 
I am going to hook the Roger beep to a VOX so it beeps in between each word I say.
