Wasn't sure if this was better in the SDR forum or Fed Forum, but...

Out at RDU airport this afternoon and came across two frequencies (410.075 and 413.00625) that DSD+ wouldn't decode. It almost looks like paging, but I admit I'm terrible at reading signal types. Thought I'd post them here and see if any of the experts might have ideas.

NOTE: Not saying these are at RDU as from the airport I pickup Durham VA as well as Granville County FBOP freqs.

Might be the stuff mentioned in this thread. In post 10 it does list 410.075 as in use in VA. Are these bursts or a constant data stream? DSD will only decode the usual digital formats so if there not digital maybe there is some other software that will decode it.

410.0750 is generally the NWS at an Airport for ASOS (Automated Surface Observing System)
this is telemetry reporting the wind, air temp and maybe even ground temp

413.00625 is the likely 413.0125 the FAA assigned for RMM (Remote Maintenance Monitoring) - also Telemetry

I've found only my older Analog scanners can find these in SEARCH as the attack time of the digital radios is quite slow.
