Warning Tone Frequency
« on: August 02, 2008, 10:57:41 PM »
I have determined that the warning tone is an approx. 585Hz Sawtooth tone that is roughly half a second long.

I had promised to do something like this a while back but never got around to doing it, until now. And no, this isn't a spambot thing.

It says 4000 tone.  :angry:

Your requesting a lock, eh? Well, you ain't getting one. What you are, however, getting is a warning. And if oyu EVER ask for a lock again you'll be banned.

Have I made myself perfectly clear? Good.

Sorry, not you. One of our members, chris121, made a very ignorant post earlier, though he's evidently since removed it.  :thinking:

It didn't have one. That's why it was decommissioned.

He probably made it himself. The 3000 had no audible tone. If it did, it would still be with us today.  :biggrin:

Actually the 3000 DID have have an audible alarm tone. It was s series of very short beeps. The reason why the FCC had a problem with is is because the alert tone only played the FIRST time a warning was displayed. The FCC wanted the alert tone EVERY time the warning repeated, which the 3000 could not do.
