Please clarify ?
Tones, or duck-farts ?
The old two-tone, I'd have to look up the current rule.
Duck-farts are NOT an attention signal, although we sometimes
assume they are since they seem to also serve that purpose.
Now, if they are duck-farts, AND they actually decode into something,
then it becomes a very risky premise indeed.
Something about "false or deceptive signal."
Remember, jot and title !
We are a nation of law, not of common sense and/or intelligence.
