Default Stebel horn question

This may sound dumb (and may actually BE dumb): with an "authoritative" horn like the Stebel, can you still just get a little beep (like you would use when behind someone who hasn't figured out that the light turned green), or will it always go to full "HONK" mode?

Thanks,

Tim

Default Honky

A quick flick will give a toot, but hold it on, and it will certainly wake them up.

Full noise is quiet loud, but a short stab is usually enough.

Thanks, Graham. I didn't want to give someone a heart attack when a little 'beep-beep' would do.

For my ham-sized hands a quick flick gives more of a TOOT, but it's definitely less than a full blast

Is the steibel air horn we are talking about? If so, great to hear you can give a short toot. Getting ready to order one.
