The only beep-beeping I've come across has been laptop PCs left on standby warning that their batteries are about to run down. I think some mobile phones and VHF hand-helds might do that too. It's very hard to determine where an infrequent beeping sound is coming from. My wife and I were once woken in the night and spent about an hour searching for the source of a regular but infrequent beep, which turned out to be the (mains powered) smoke alarm telling us that the backup batteries (which I didn't even know existed, and which were 6 years old) were about to die. ----- Julian, G4ILO.
