There is no low level hum, carrier leakage, or fan noise that lets others know the PTT switch is being 'mashed". In addition, there are no relays with high voltage or high current to spark or spike an couple into transmit audio when the PTT is releases or poorly designed ALC loops to pump up the gain as the transmitter begins to transition back to receive. This is good and results in more natural voice operation; the next step is greater use of VOX! Wayne has already said there ain't gonna be no stinking roger beeps so that's not the issue here. The issue is the presence of *any* added garbage in amateur radio. All manufacturers should be striving to produce audio as clean and artifact free as that from the K3 without spoiling it with add-ons that have the potential to increase QRM and noise to adjacent channel users (which is exactly what roger beeps do). 73, ...
