Me too in fact I used to be one of them MANY years ago. As time went on things went down hill and I moved on. Unfortunately about five or ten years after I moved on regulations changed so that anybody that could memorize the answers to a few questions could get their ticket and a whole bunch that I tried to get away from got their tickets and showed up on the local 2m repeater carrying on in their 11m ways with the 10 codes etc. They were amazed as everybody on the repeater was all S-9 or so. Dolts had no comprehension of a repeater versus direct comms. The straw that broke the camels back was the guy that asked how to wire up his D104 to his 2m radio. A lot of them are still around. Once in a while I sit back and listen to them spew garbage that they consider antenna and propagation facts. They don't know shit. After about ten minutes I turn the dial. Total idiots is what they are. Maybe I am jaded but if that is the case I have good reason. No respectable ham uses that repeater any more. It has been dubbed the 11m CB repeater.
The only "legal/authorized" addition/device on any band is a RB....Is there regulations in the ham bands against noise toys?
A status symbol? So that means it's not annoying. Doesn't make a bunch of noise on the band either? Haha.
No different from the Ford vs Chevy...LOL
how about 50wpm ?Thought about a roger "beep" that spits out my callsign at 20 wpm when I unkey the mike. That way I wouldn't have to watch the clock for those ten-minute marks.
Another of those 'round tuits'.

how about 50wpm
The Browning squeal was made by accident. Then they came out for a fix for that defect. Some people insist that they must squeal. The truth shall set YOU free. hahahahaThe Browning Squeal was made by Accident in the design not on purpose.The Roger Beep was made on purpose to make stupid noise & if you know anything about Classic CB Radio History you should know that.Facts are Facts & they will always be Factual. The Truth shall set you FREE. {:>)

I am going to hook the Roger beep to a VOX so it beeps in between each word I say.
Correct they Both SUCK & it's why I drive a RAM 1500 Quad Cab with a HEMI.
