    In fact, just 'K' at about 1/2 audio volume, 800Hz would be fast and imo inoffensive.

    @BSO - Yes, i'm thinking more for HF simplex use.

    Yeah, maybe, although I've never heard a roger beep on HF or seen an HF rig that has that feature. I've only heard them coming from Chinese VHF/UHF FM rigs and "import" 10m rigs that are actually not legal for sale here.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    And, there would have to be a switch that changed K to this:

    Sadly the practical use of such a feature is swamped by the ham disapproving BS and the toy nature on CB. Shame really.

    The Colorado Connection repeater system uses a "K" as a courtesy tone. The "main" system on the front range uses a fast "K", with the outlying repeaters using a slower "K", which lets the system users know that it's linked, and needs a bit more time to drop.

    Outlying repeaters are linked via UHF. Pretty cool stuff, that fast and slow "K".

    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.
