The French Air force had a very innovative interaction between the landing gear down indication and VHF transmission. The response to a check call of ‘Gear Down’ was to press a button on the gear indicator, this transmitted short ‘beep -beep’ providing that the gear was down. However, this does not appear to ‘sound’ the same as reported.
Longer beeps are sometimes associated with radar sweeps and result in VHF interference.
