Re: AA/Diamond $20 Star Trek Communicator: photos, review, impressions
Yes, the comm does make the chirp sound when you flip it open.
It's the same sound the MR and STTE make, the long version
"Tk-tk-tk, tk-tk-tik-tik-tik, tik."
Which is actually TOO long IMHO... the comm sound in the show was often only three or four "tks". But if you pus a button when during the opening chirp, you can interrupt it.
The "callback" sound is made when you close the comm while in "hailing mode" as I said in the freview. That's the "boop-boop" sound, which gets repeated several times.
The slot in the side is for the "Try Me" tab as the phaser had. This is unfortunate because the hole is rather big and unsightly, and it's in the TOP shell and not the bottom. Oh well. Usually it's not visible with the comm in hand.
The recycling symbol and the copyright stamp could both be covered with a piece of Velcro.
