Electronic Monkey - Bleep Board
The Ugly One got his mits on one of these second hand a few weeks back, but unfortunately when fitted it turned out to be not working, There was no recognition of it from the PC via the software, and the main chip was getting hot. A quick e-mail to Andrei at Electronic Monkey, and several helpful replies later, it was agreed to send it back to him in Romania for analysis and repair - which the Ugly One duly did. Consider my surprise therefore, when just a few days later a brand new one arrived on my poop deck ! Andrei hadn't even waited til the faulty one got there, before sending me a new working one ! THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE ! A big thanks to Electronic Monkey
Fitting it was ridiculously simple... and I bunged it into my Grant just for the fun of it. Currently programmed with the sound of a cuckoo clock, you can imagine Fred (21HP133) in Sweden's surprise when answering him on some skip a few minutes later Had a great QSO on UK21 FM, and the mad cuckoo bleep came up in the conversation!
These boards come with a number of features, including compression, echo, and of course the programmable .wav file roger beep. There's hundreds of ready made .wav files to choose from... or you can make your own with the editing software on the disc.
Anyway.... thought you lot might like to know how I got on fitting it, and also to give Andrei a massive thumbs up for after care and customer service. In a time when many suppliers are being a bit rough with their customers, Electronic Monkey went the extra mile.

Re: Electronic Monkey - Bleep Board
ok I'm interested. How much are they new Ugs?
I've always liked the idea of a sonar blip as a bleep. something like the 'Seaview' used to make from 'the voyage to the bottom of the sea'
I bet that would sound pretty cool on ch19.

Re: Electronic Monkey - Bleep Board
Thanks Ugs, I'll put it on my maybe list. If you had a sonar ping as a bleep, would you be able to tell where a signal was coming from?

Re: Electronic Monkey - Bleep Board
I like it, I've never wired a bleep up before but looks straight forward enough, but which rig would I choose?

Re: Electronic Monkey - Bleep Board
i saw this one advertised on ebay..
hope you messaged the seller and gave him a 'what for' IIRC he had the 'no returns it works' clause.

Re: Electronic Monkey - Bleep Board
I have tried to emulate the NASA beep on and off over the years (not a lifetime ambition but something that recurs every five years or so), and never got it right, got close, but it always lacked that 'je ne sais quoi', this could be the jobby, and their customer service is duly noted.

Re: Electronic Monkey - Bleep Board
Arent those SMT components I see? Sacrilege.
Quindar tones are easy - Just programme 2450 or 2550 Hz for 250 ms into your Anytone / KPO / MAAS, etc and job done!

It's good to hear a Swede **** himself, as poor old 'CBer' Fred 21TM133 did ! And Josua from Valencia 30SD171 may not speak much English but he knew how to say 'Boing!'
