If there was a passage in the rules which read something like:" A

it would be a different story. But there isn't such a passage. So you
have nothing to stand on when you make the claim that roger beeps are
legal.

my cobra 29ltd classic came with roger beep, from the factory, and its FCC type
accepted. does your question apply to the legality of the beeps on frs radios?
or on 2 meter repeaters? they are just for amusement? your statement makes as
much sense as saying you can't use a cb radio for anchor because the FCC
doesn't say you can. so you have nothing to stand on when you make the claim
that roger beeps are illegal.
