Mike,
I have just sent the tone sequences to compass and received a very short beep tone immediately after each command on the downlink. The tone has a slight change of pitch for its duration. The equipment used was a TS-2000 with the tones in memory and the tone duration set to “SLOW” (100ms tone, 100ms mute). Compass pass at 2102 UT and max el 54 deg.
