i see dave cubwolf is knocking up hygain bleeps, cant even remember what they sound like, my anytone bleep is short and sweet, although when i crank up the echo on 555 nobody answers me :wtf:
I Am the great cornholio are you threatening me ?

Remind yourself here mate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4y_W0FlFB8

I have sold loads of these so apologies if someone near you has bought one :-)

I personally like the simple Ham bleep.

I think its useful with SSB,but there is no reason for it to be loud,long or sound like a doorbell. A simple Uniden-style beep is sufficient. I don`t even mind if its a 5 tone beep,as long as its not slow and loud.
Eh..Its time.

On ham radio I've never missed a beep.

Last used one on a multimode 11 in about 1986
