>Also IIRC having roger beep turned on is mostly frowned upon on ham bands.

Except the Roger beep coming from the repeater, which is semi-important in that it denotes that the repeater has unlatched and the transmit timer is reset.

If a repeater user keys up before hearing the Roger beep, the repeater doesn't restart the transmit timer, so there is a chance that your transmission will time out.
