Possibly one of Garmin's Rino series FRS/GMRS hand-held radios. They can send GPS coordinates digitally to one and other.

462.6375 is licensed in Winnipeg to International Malting Company. It's a digital frequency.
Great
Nice how one manufacturer does this, creates a device that generates lots of digital "noise" so that other
FRS radio users have to now suffer with that noise.Seems unfair to me.

It's such a tiny short burst you'd probably never notice it.

Whether it is voice or "digital noise" it would still be generated and cause interference to other users.

You don't have to "suffer" the noise. If you need to use a particular channel then program your radios to use a CTCSS (tone squelch) that the "offending" transmitter is not transmitting. Then you will only hear radios transmitting your chosen CTCSS tone on that channel. There are 32 standard CTCSS tones.
Or just use a different channel. There are 22 of them.

this would be International Maltings new 3 freq DMR Cap plus system see also 462.025 R1-462.6375 R2-461.6000 R3 is 3rd fx , information has been submitted to database.
Yes they are properly licensed on that FRS frequency. There are many other examples across Canada.
I've heard a lot of digital signals on FRS/GMRS in Calgary and a search of frequencies does not show any licensed users. Although lately I have not heard any, most were heard last year. But if construction uses them, would suspect will hear some as weather improves.
Unfair? Really? Dude, we're talking FRS here. It's a secondary, non-licensed, non-protected allocation. You need to educate yourself some more before making comments like that again.
