In this example, the end of the paging tone can be heard, then some background noise in the dispatch center, and then these strange, short beeps before the carrier drops and the dispatcher talks.
Any idea what that beep is all about? Is it in-band signaling turning on a remote transmitter or something? The setup has been roughly the same for many years, with the addition of this beep a few months ago. Sometimes there will be one, sometimes two (identical) beeps.
This is only heard while paging and only on that channel. (To be fair, they don't really talk on this channel except for paging) Other channels and departments dispatched from this dispatch center are normal and unaffected. I believe this started after a tech changed something when fixing some issue. Guessing this is the solution, but I don't know how it works.
Thanks!
