Superfluous on CB. Especially on AM, where a very distinct carrier

dropping, signals the end of transmission.

nonsense,roger beeps or actually nasa beeps were used on the apollo missions.
after the moon missions is when they started catching on with cb'ers. apollo
used am radios. was nasa using the beep as a sound effect to entertain us?

No, but the movie was good entertainment, complete with roger-beeps!
"Marooned" was pretty good, too. I didn't like "Apollo 13" as much as
I thought I would -- computer animation has come a long way, but it
still looks fake when compared to the special effects that were
state-of-the-art just before computers took over the scene. Damn
accountants!

yes i did sorry. quindar tones were only used on the uplink, not the downlink.
i still think if the downlink were fm that you would here the squelch tail when
the downlink unkeyed. ?
