I've been picking up this signal on my SDR & would like to know what it is.
Both signals pulse together and are continuous.
I'm assuming it's a beacon of some kind.
My location is Wanaka, Otago, NZ

Doesn't appear on 464.0125.
DSDPlus doesn't do anything with it.
I made audio & video recordings of both frequencies in SDR Console.
Tried to attach them here but the video is too large & the audio the wrong format.
I'm not very familiar with those types of files & how to edit them accordingly.

My first guess is it sounds like it might be some type of telemetry system nearby. Is the signal always there? Do you have a scanner and see if you get it on that, if you do, go mobile (or use the SDR on a tablet or cell phone) and check around other parts of town. Try to narrow down if it's something coming from in your home or immediate neighborhood.

Today the 469.062 signal was not present.
I loaded the 469.012 into my trusty old UBC92XLT.
It's nothing around home. I have to be outside to receive it.
I did a rough 5k circle around my location and it seems to be stronger in the east.
Might have to knock up a directional antenna.

I've had a look through the UHF samples on sigidwiki.com
Didn't see anything the same.
It's a very regular pulse, like an electric fence.

A license search shows a general user license on 469.0125 for all of New Zealand.

It was a calibration signal for GPS. They usually only put up a transmitter while a project are ongoing, like doing ground work for new buildings or roads.
