Would be nice to have a repeater that gave a courtesy beep that went something like this ..--- (not a very good signal) or ----.

(Very good signal) I made a repeater controller years ago where the courtesy beep was a DTMF tone indicating signal strength. Of course, you needed a touch-tone decoder to know what it meant, but it was very useful for testing. Pat |
