Where are you located? Knowing your location (doesn't have to be specific. Can be just general such as county or region) will help others who may not be far from you have their ears "turned up".

Todays captures from Southern California. Picked up a few things I hadn't before. It was quite the day. Based on what I've been reliably seeing here compared to what you guys are posting, either I'm much further in depth to every little thing (posting everything I capture), or there's something about where I am and what I'm using that just seems to pick up all of this incredible stuff... I wouldn't expect sporadic-e to be this predictable. Maybe so?

Any ideas on the below unknown on 33.040/Carrier?

Anyone know for sure who 33.700/114.8 is? Is it actually Hardwick, MA? If so, I need to talk with their radio tech...

33.10 118.8 Cestnut Ridge Transport, Spring Valley, NY

OK. I've got that one as "The Trans Group" per their license, is Chestnut Ridge Transport more accurate? I also had it as 118.8 yesterday, though it decoded as 123.0 the first time I heard it a couple of days ago, probably sloppy decoding.

Looks like you had a pretty good day with 33 as well!

Yes I believe they changed names recently. Yes sir 33s been popping in Texas.

[d119]

I need to know what the poly tones are for! Anyone? Probably telemetry from something I'd guess.

 

[W1KNE]

The polytones are likely French ASFA autoroutes data and voice. I've picked them up before as well

[radionx]

I am in the ASFA region right now, checking some things out...

Is there a bandplan in the TRX 1e which allows me to scan 31MHz?
