  • Repeater roger beep

    From Stormin Mormon@cayoung61@hotmail.com to alt.ham-radio on Thu May 14 21:46:20 2015
    From Newsgroup: alt.ham-radio

    I was told a few minutes ago, that a roger beep
    is not acceptable on a repeater. "too much
    noise on the repeater already".

    Is this policy, code, or just one man's opinion?

    Our linked repeater system uses tones so the users can discern what
    repeater is active at a given moment.

    Contrast with California where I visited last year and couldn't get
    anybody to answer me for three days on repeaters (but I made plenty of
    simplex contacts). Point being it appears that non-essential chit chat,
    let alone roger beeps, are discouraged there!

    It is up to the repeater owner as to whether THEY want the beep or not.
    I assume the repeater controller software would not include that
    "feature" if there were a negative policy towards its use.

    In other words ... just one man's opinion.

    Any evidence to present for that assertion?

    Well.. Let's just say the person who expressed his opinion was adding to
    the noise on the repeater.. I would give him... A Roger Beep.

    Now,, Question..What do you mean by a roger Beep.. A "Kerchunk" with no
    other audio causing the repeater's beeper to beep..

    That..Violates part 97 (you must ID at the end of a series of
    transmissions) since that would be making a "Final" transmission without giving your call.... But I pick nits sometimes and this is one of
    them. (meaning don't worry about it).

    Please excuse my ignorance - am very new to radio. I believe the ``roger
    beep'' is an indication that the transmission is complete. I would think
    that keying the mic would be sufficient (unless you filter the relay?)?
    I am guessing that the roger beep is probably not necessary.


    < That..Violates part 97 (you must ID at the end of a series of transmissions) < since that would be making a "Final" transmission without giving your

    What do you mean by ``the final transmistion'' is probably the the question.

    < But I pick nits sometimes and this is one of them. (meaning don't
    < worry about it).
