I'd like suggestions please for purchasing a new mobile CB unit.
What I'd really like is a unit with SSB, built-in roger beep,
and built in echo. I've heard some very neat boxes out there
and would like suggestions on where to get one in the New England
area. Legal boxes please!
Thanks -- Derek

What's not legal about SSB, Roger Beep, and Echo? Last I checked there was no
mention in the FCC rules on CB band that said echo and Roger Beeps were
illegal.

P.S.: To the first question, you're probably need to look for either a
President or a Galaxy radio. They would have both.

A roger beep and an "echo box" are both considered "noisemakers" or "devicesQuote:>: Hum, SSB with roger-beep and echo?? I don't thinks so, and not legal

The legality issue aside, do us all a favor, forget the beeps and echos. They
do nothing but annoy other operators. Echo boxes do nothing but distort yor
audio and make you harder to understand. The name of the game is to sound good
and to make the most out of the stuff you have. If you like the sound of
someone speaking from the bottom of a barrel, then put an echo box on your
speaker jack and listen to it that way. At least those of us who desire
clean audio will not be forced to listen to a distorted electronic trash can.
Roger beeps have a legitimate use on SSB when it can be difficult to determine
if the other station has stopped transmitting, or mearly taken a breath. The
"beep" at the end of transmission, will remove all doubt. But on AM, it is
not necessary, and becomes annoying as oftentimes the beep is much louder
than the average audio level, and just grates on the nerves after a while.
