No, not everyone. There was no definitive rule

Therefore the claim that they were legal was

(There's no definitive rule that allows chrome knobs and black paint on
CB radios, either. The problem is your warped logic, Dave -- absence of
evidence does -not- constitute proof of the opposite. When are you going
to realize this fundamental flaw in your thought process?)

So you never believed that noise toys were

illegal? Could not the use of a Roger Beep not
be addressed in 95.412 and 95.413?

(Only if you define it as such. The FCC doesn't, which should have been
painfully clear when it was proven that they authorized a CB radio with
the feature.)

Galaxy has a reputation for "pushing the limit"

when it comes to radios and their legalities.

Galaxy is irrelevant to the law permitting roger beeps.

Just look at their list of "export" radios. The

fact that most mainstream radios did NOT

have such a feature was enough for me to

remain suspicious. I was also informed by an

FCC official 20-some years back that they

considered any "tone or noise" not specifically

addressed in 95.412 (b) to be illegal.

Obviously that feeling is no longer true,

Obviously, you are getting **** poor advice from your mystery leos,
pretend supporters you claimed agreed roger beeps were illegal, and
mystery FCC officials.

but it

was the basis for my initial feeling on the

subject.

And a flip flop from your past and many-timies-invoked claim that
absence of proof does not equal proof of absence....except, when you say
it does, of course.

But I stand corrected now.

You stood corrected before. You were just slow in accepting it.
