Marine Ch 62 - 156.125 digital burst?

[eorange]

Just like it says...I hear a periodic digital noise burst on 156.125. It's not P25 per my 396XT. Any idea what it is? I'm in eastern Cuy county.

Are you sure it's not something on the adjacent public safety pool channels 156.12 or 156.1275?

No, not sure. Will check it out, but honestly didn't know there would be PS channels right in the marine band.

Public safety goes up to 156.24.
Ch 62 156.125 is an international channel that isn't supposed to be used in the US. Same with most others below 156.25.

That's it and that's the sound I'm hearing; thanks. Time to update my marine channel list.

That's the current problem lol...I have all of them, including Canada which I can sometimes hear if the prop is good. Need to ferret out the ones like 156.125 per the list.

Due to that, and folks using SDR not knowing the FCC band plans, I created a few freq charts

FCC VHF High Band - Scan New England Wiki

based on Part 90, Part 80, Part 74, Part 22 etc

Needs some more refinement, but has stopped some of the Bad Freq submissions.
