One of the things that almost always makes me smile is when I'm
listening to a repeater and some ham says "Your are full scale on the
S-meter here"

Uh.. Sir.. You are reading not the ham you are talking to (Whom you can
not even hear) you are reading the REPEATER He is talking to.... And of
course it is full scale.

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.

What do you mean you needed a DTMF controller... I once was chatting
with the President of a repeater club.. He mentioned they cut the tones
off quickly so folks could not ID the control tones.

He then sent a string of DTMF tones.. and using nothing more than my
Touch Tone (TM) Phone (Yes it was a genuine AT&T) and my ear.. I told
him what he sent.. No decoder needed save the one God put between my ears.

I do admit to doing a bit of singing though.
