Gary, if something is switchable option it can be switched off (in VK-land and anywhere). We are talking about technical possibilities of K3 not about being or not being CBer. Somebody is CBer without Rbeep - you know... :-) (and I do not believe that CBer´s are buying K3´s - maybe as Rbeep missing? :-)) If this (Rbeep) can help or not - it is another discussion. I do not know - never heard this on HAM bands below 30MHz. I have only have some experience from 2m and up. Probably you are not talking about this as you mentioned EU stations ;-)
