I think this is what you may be looking for.

To make the Roger Beep louder on the RCI-2950/70, change R-179 from 1.5 Meg to a smaller value. The lower the value of this resistor, the louder it will be---up to a limit though. Making it less than 100K usually will make the beep tone very unstable and/or shut it down completely.

The duration (length) of the beep is controlled by the value of C-146. It usually comes with a 2.2uF capacitor. Increasing the value of the capacitence will lengthen the time of the beep. Decreasing the value will shorten the "beep" time.

Personally, I've always loved the sound of the old RCIs' Roger Beep. They had their own distinct sound like no other radio.

Jeff, kc0gxz.

I have an older 2950 and would like to know how to make the roger beep audible? Others hear it on receive but I can't while transmitting.

Sonwatcher, to hear your roger beep, do the talkback mod. I would also like to mod my 2950s roger beep. Would like it to sound like the hy-gain multimode v.
