His question was about the tone - or pitch of the beep.
Since there is little info on this, I would send an email to 'The Radio Shop Supply' in Ramona CA. Or call them during business hours @ (760) 440-0125. Ask for 'Chip'; he may have your answer. 'The Radio Shop Supply' is the RCI/Ranger authorized repair shop on the West Coast - BTW . . .

I think all roger beeps should be lowered to the point ya can't hear them....now that would be a tone I like. I use headphones at times....volume up and pow! Comes the roger beep! Makes ya a little jumpy! I actually ask a guy to turn his off a week or so ago. 
My radio has one!...I accidentally turned it on a few days ago....called cq several times and no answer? Noticed it on....turned it off.....waited a minute to so so my voice would not give me away....called cq and was in a qso in seconds. i must not be the only one that does not like them?
When they first came out back in the 70's they were cool but it didn't last long....now the are mostly a noise toy, same as an echo....and the beepers that play a song. :bdh:

Sorry to hear that your ISP is apparently blocking Google, LOL. :tongue:
What cracks me up is how some old dudes I know use echo and beeps. There's a few local dudes in their late 60's and a couple in their 70's that consistently use that shit.
Most of the old goats don't have any teeth and when they use echo and reverb it just makes them sound like they got a turd in their mouth.
I always tell them that they sound like shit. Pisses them off each time, but I feel it's my duty to keep reminding them.

Thx Robb,Im just trying to learn things about radios, how to do simple things or just a what if/could it be, kinda thing. Thx for the info.
Not sure why everyone else bothers to post anything, when they`re not contributuing any USEFUL info to the question.
THERE SHOULD BE AN (OPINION SECTION) ON THE FORUM TO SWAP OPINIONS, SO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LEARN, DONT HAVE TO SIFT THRU THEIR CRAP!

That made coffee come out of my nose. :laugh:
Who do you talk to on the Moon? I didn't know Alice Kramden had a radio.
In 39 years I've had thousands upon thousands of QSO's. Many of them were exciting weak signal contacts with major language barriers. At the end of my transmissions, I just say: 'Over'. Sometimes, I might be so bold as to repeat 'over' a couple times in a row.
Never needed no beep to make any contact in my life.
