I've turned it on plenty of times from a western approach. Usually it takes a good 5 second burst of carrier at 74.4 Hz. The only way to tell is to switch back to 67 Hz and send a carrier. If you hear quieting, it's on.

It was coming in from the southeast over the pacific, so I figured it might not be turned on, but I expected to hear some traffic on it by the end of the pass. When it’s off and needs the 74.4hz 2 second tone to reset the timer does so-50 give any feedback to indicate that’s it’s now on?
