Since no-one else has replied, I'll put you out of your misery. :D

Daniel, one of the developers, has addressed this question in the 4th post down in this thread.

Bump to this!

Could this function be added as a code snippet, and whoever's willing to sacrifice available space for a roger/transmission end beep (or possibly even a transmission start beep) could just add to the latest released build? I would love this!

Sometimes, when using an earpiece, my mic button could fail or not be properly seated, so I need to keep an eye on the LED to see if I'm actually transmitting or if my transmission isn't cutting out from a bad plug connection. Thus, a transmission start/end tone is great.
This is also great when I'm waiting for the DMR connection to be made to the repeater.

Also, most channels I talk on, people use other radios that sound a roger beep after the transmission ends, so it's commonly expected for it to happen - but unfortunately mine's mute.
The firmware already has a beep, but that's just for me, and it only works when I'm receiving a transmission, not when I'm sending out.
