hi all,
im looking for a recording of the old "GE WE BRING GOOD THINGS TO LIFE" beep tones that would play at the end of a trunked transmission on the original configuration of the EDACS 800 systems in the late 80s and early 90s. this was done to throw off scanners, but for some reason they got rid of it in the early 90s, replaced with boring beeps. lots of ppl have sent me links to recording of data and audio but none of them contain the the audio im looking for.
any help would be appreciated thanks!!

I got an early start in radio, but by the time I was fully involved in trunking, they had already phased that out. Just the boring beeps now. I too, would like to hear a recording of that. Hopefully someone's got an old sound file of it. I've heard the advertisement jingle, just not the trunked scanner-stopper version.

This isn't the best quality, but all the EDACS systems here just do the 3 beeps at EOT.

The jingle was removed from GE trunking systems as they got in trouble with the FCC for broadcasting music. They claimed it was data - the FCC didn't agree.

The 3 beeps were the replacement, and signify end of transmission.
