5 more functions are available. Turn off the unit. Turn on the radio
while pressing one or two keys to set the function.
1) ROGER BEEP
(s key on the unit or UP knob on microphone)
The ROGER BEEP sounds when the PTT switch (11) of the microphone
is released in order to let your correspondent speak. Historically as
CB is a "simplex" communication mode, it is not possible to speak
and listen at the same time (as it is the case with a telephone).
Once the conversation was over, he said "Roger" in order to
prevent his correspondent that it was his turn to talk. The word
"Roger" has been replaced by a significant beep. That is where
the name "Roger beep" comes from.
- Turn on the power while pressing the s key (3a) or UP knob (12)
to alternate between enable (On) or disable (OF) the ROGER BEEP
function.
When function is activated, " " appears on the display.

Note: The Roger beep also sounds in the loudspeaker if the KEY
BEEP function is active. If the KEY BEEP function is not active, only
the correspondent can hear the ROGER BEEP.
In PA mode the function is not allowed.
