I could say, I take it you haven't tried VFH contesting? No, I'm a relatively new ham (never had a CB in my life) and VHF contesters in my club use a beep a lot. It was an honest question/suggestion from perhaps a naïve op. I've order a XV144 with my K3, because I want to run 2M too.
However, I still haven't figured out why so many of you long term hams throw scorn etc on CB'ers (yes I;ve had some of the issues explained to me). I took my foundation with a couple ex CB'ers who wanted to do more DX. If we just turn them all away because they are/were CB'ers, we will be reducing the Ham fraternity even more. I think we need all the members we can get. However, I don't wish to be controversial or cause a=offence, so I'll leave it at that.
