I noticed a strange (to me) signal on 173.2625 MHz in downtown Floydada recently, and heard something similar on the same frequency in downtown Lubbock a few days ago. Please help me understand what I'm hearing.
In Floydada, I am hearing sheriff's office traffic in analog — FCSO uses a digital system — along with a short beep every 10 seconds. I can only hear this a few blocks radius around the SO; it's a very weak signal.
I heard the same 10-second-increment beeping in downtown Lubbock on the same frequency the other day (but didn't hear any traffic). Also a weak signal.
The thing that boggles me is that 173.2625 is not listed on any license in Floyd County.
I'm sure this is some super common thing, but I haven't come across it before and I'm stumped. Anyone know what this is for?
Thanks
