I've recently been scanning the FRS channels again and noticed in my area (Bethany, West OKC) there's a pretty strong signal that's transmitting data bursts (I guess!) on channel 5 (462.6625) continuously. It's three sets of two very quick bursts each set separated by 1.5-2 seconds, then a pause of about 5 seconds, and repeat.
At first I thought it was just a kid kerchunking away, doing double-taps with one of those tail beeps turned on - but if so his finger must be falling off after weeks of continuous activity!
While typing this I have been listening to it on a Icom ham radio and watching the S-meter I notice another interesting characteristic, the first two sets in each cycle are around S-3/S-4 and the third burst is full scale. Maybe I'm hearing multiple units communicating with each other?
Any thoughts what it might be?
I've been thinking about ways I might be able to decode it, could be a diverting time sink...
