[BC] The Telephone Recording Beep

[Bob Groome]

Some of the stations I worked left the tone in for broadcast. Guess those PD's liked the feel it gave ... that we were broadcasting a phone conversation. And some stations I worked use a then illegal tap on the phone line without the coupler and no tone at all. Coil and cap or tap off the speaker in a speaker phone.

that. By shorting two terminals it will automatically
generate the beep and notch it out before the AVC
feature (also defeatable). A very popular recorder
coupler in its day.
