will alert you that you have a beep tone and ask you to turn it off

I see no reason to use it in any mode with a carrier; you know when
the other guy has released PTT. As I said, I want to try it on SSB
where you need an "over" to know PTT has been released. Some hams
think you are a lid unless you say "over"; I see no reason to make
like a simple machine, unless you have the IQ of a simple machine.

I believe the FRS radios also use a roger beep. They probably outsell
ham radios 100:1.

If ignorance was bliss, you'd be euphoric.... you do what you want to do,
your gonna do it anyway.
