Roger beep

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.

Don't know what everyone else calls them, but NASA calls them "quindar tones" and they're used to key and unkey ground station transmitters.

But don't take my word for it: https://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/quindar.html

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

The average CB Operator did not know how to fix it & sure did not not have enough money to pay someone to do it.That's funny though. Also I left mine alone because I don't Mod any CB Radios because I like them Bone Stock so a Browning was no exception. LOL More TRUTH for the uninformed world.

Those were not hammers. They were manually operated impact drivers. ;):ROFLMAO:

I have also owned Cordless Screwdrivers for as long as I can remember? I was wondering what all the fuss was about when I heard that NASA was using them & they were High Tech? I have never owned a screwdriver with a cord on it except a Screwdriver Antenna & all Three of those for sure had at least one cord. LOL
