I think you will find the bleeps are from your radio. The receiver bleeps to notify you a DV signal has dropped, not the repeater. Try a simplex QSO, this will confirm this for you.

Ofcourse, when someone pushes the PTT right after the BEEP or before the BEEP, the repeater does not have the time to send the confirmation out. (The confirmations are send seperately from the DV transmission) so: DV TX stop TX Confirm Repeater TX (BEEP) stop TX Confirm Gateway TX (BEEP) stop TX if someone pushes the mike faster its like: DV TX stop TX Confirm Repeater TX (BEEP) stop TX DV TX stop TX Confirm Repeater TX (BEEP) stop TX Confirm Gateway TX (BEEP) stop TX or even: DV TX stop TX DV TX stop TX Confirm Repeater TX (BEEP) stop TX Confirm Gateway TX (BEEP) stop TX I could also be completely wrong :) Let me know if someone else has the same experience. 73s Robbie On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 3:42 PM, Fran Miele <[email protected]> wrote: Several of the users on our system have been discussing the beeps heard on a repeater and it is clear we really don’t understand them. I’m sure this has been asked many times before but I can’t seem to find a definite answer. Can someone explain the beeps that are heard at the end of a transmission on a repeater? Sometimes there are two, sometimes one and sometimes none. What do they mean, and why the variation? Thanks in advance, Fran, W1FJM
