I have a question, and am new to this forum., but can't find where to begin a new post. I used to live in Texas, used to listen to a scanner, and have been wanting to find out what the scratch-type of sound is after key-up, before the officers spoke?

It may be the radio sending it's radio ID number or an access code to access the system.

One of the County systems around here does it. Funny thing, it has been doing it since they were on VHF in the Plan A days back in the '70s, I really don't understand why it would still be making it on the Safe-T system. I always wondered if it was an identifier burst, sounds like a kind of bird screech or maybe a wooden chair leg scooting on a hard floor...always annoyed the heck out of me. None of the other systems I can hear do it, nor did any back in the VHF analog days.
