What IS illegal, under Part 95, Subpart D, paragraph 95.413, section
(a), subparagraph (6) is "To transmit music, whistling, sound effects
or any material to amuse or entertain;" and subparagraph (7) "To
transmit any sound effect solely to attract attention."

It IS permissible, under paragraph 95.412, section (b) to "transmit a
tone signal only when the signal is used to make contact or to
continue communications. (Examples of circuits using these signals are
tone operated squelch and selective calling circuits.) If the signal
is an audible tone, it must last no longer than 15 seconds at one
time. If the signal is a subaudible tone, it may be transmitted
continuously only as long as you are talking."

The way SOME people use "Roger Beeps" they are clearly intended to
amuse, entertain, and/or irritate.
