2 man system
As a BU, when I feel 'normal effort' by an infielder has been achieved I'll give the IF signal to my PU. (I do understand that the PU has fly ball responsibilities in this case) I'll then wait for a verbal call from the PU. My question is , is it a good mechanic to 'echo' his/her IF verbal? I ask this because how many times do we hear from either coach (OC/DC) ' we didn't hear you call IF'.
Thoughts?

I think two verbals may actually confuse the coaches and players. It is not unusual for coaches to complain they didn't hear a call, but the reason why is that they, the players and fans are usually screaming their head off.
