Cobra 29 Roger beep off button

[Radio Tech]

What type of RB did you install? Sometimes breaking the power lead will disable the TB but also disable transmit. Other times you could switch the audio lead from the TB but that leaves a delay when you un-key the mic. Need more details to really know what to do.

Thanks guys. Actually I just re upped last week for my last go round. I would have ETS' d 25Mar but I signed on for another 6 that will take me out past my 20. I'm not pissed, I'm actually enjoying the negativity more than anything. I completely understand the frustration on the noise toys and all the cartoon antics which is why I want the option to turn it off. I've heard that guy with the huge boom box blasting the air waves bleeding over 20 channels in either direction who has his echo turned up so loud you can't understand him, the guy that has his night gown on and going to bed, and of course the guys that ain't got no panties on. I'm entitled to my opinion and have the right to set up my radio any way I like and in my opinion a hint of echo can make the radio sound nice and full. In my opinion when talking to a distant station, the Roger beep can help to make the conversion easier. Of course it's my opinion only and I'm sure everyone who hates these things has a reason for their opinion and I respect that. I will not insult someone for having an opinion because I Don't agree with it. This is a hobby, just something to have fun with. I'm not one of these guys who hides behind a radio or behind an internet forum to insult people. There are just as many that like using a Roger beep as there are who don't. For a man to insult a bunch of people just because of difference of opinion is just ignorant and I will voice my opinion for the sake of others as well as my own. I agree, Roger beeps can be annoying to some and not so annoying to others but they do have their place and every radio I've ever seen had a channel sector and an off switch if that's just too much for people to handle. I both pity and laugh at the idiot who feels the need to insult people because Roger beeps are retarded in his opinion along with his good buddy, the ass clown that accepts that opinion as fact. I'll be back on later, it's Saturday and I got a box full of radios to play with.

360 out. ....*BEEP!*

Thanks for the response. I used a workman Roger beep. I installed the button on the hot wire but that killed all my audio all together I tried the ground but that left it buzzing. Process of elimination leaves only the white and the green wire so it has to be one of them. I was busy setting up an I max 2000 today so I didn't have much time to item the radio to tell you what ponds these connect to and I forget. I do remember disconnecting a wire or 2 from the mic plug and connecting them to the terminals on the r.b. board, maybe tx and rx if I remember. I'll have to look it up to tell you exactly. I really appreciate you trying to help out and hope you can guide me in the right direction.

Hey, thanks for your help. I'll take a close look at it tomorrow.

Some roger beeps such as the 5 tone by Workman have an orange wire that when grounded, turns off the beep, yet allows the transmission thru because if you killed the 12 VDC source, you'd not be able to transmit. Other beep boards, such as the Workman single beep, don't have this function, but I believe will still let the transmission thru if you kill the 12 VDC via an inline switch....it's been a while since I sold off my beep boards so my memory may be a bit cloudy.

And yes some folks here think RB is a dumb idea, but don't fret it....they're the same ones who think echo is cool or they shelled out $$ for a Big Betty Connex because touching the boob knobs is as close as they'll ever get to touching any boobs besides their own.

HTH
