Weird music on 43.540

[marvinsuggs]

It was actually the instrumental from DeBarge's Stay With Me, which Foolish samples.

Freaking amazing 👏

Has your 15x got the IFX option? If so try it and see if it removes the music. I was getting music from a nearby strong radio station bleeding through 940MHz where on my 536PT’s BPF are very ill effective. I turned on the IFX option and it completely removed the interfering music. It could be a image.

Is the music playing all the time, or does it come and go?

Intermod and images on my UBCD536-PT?

Hi gang, a few months ago I purchased a new UBCD536-PT (Australian model) scanner and am amazed by the nil existence of intermodulation and images from high power local transmission. I have never had to use the IFX mode on my radio. I only got back into scanning and I can remember my previous...

I'll check to see if I have the IFX option.

Please tell me it was stuff like this., That would be awesome

I wish but unfortunately they were playing the Goo Goo Dolls (this was around 1999 or 2000 haha)

There was a Muzak style service in Chile on 43.200, 47.900, 48.300 but it's been years since I've heard them.

Yes it must be something like that. No voice, just partial songs looped continuously.

Sounds like Ashanti - Foolish

Thank you. It was bugging me that I couldn't name the song, but got the tune stuck in my head.

Music from hell?

Today I am getting music coming in and out on 32.9000, all foreign language. Nothing local either.

Hearing music on 43.540/43.560

The music (regardless of the noise) sounds like some guy with a guitar and a mic doing some awful crapolius.

At least it's not this:

43.54 was a possible cordless phone back in the day... Is there a subcode?

I don't think 43.54 was ever a cordless phone frequency. It's an adjacent channel to a business frequency. Outside a few metropolitan areas, these channels aren't very active anymore, but when cordless phones were popular, 43.52 would have been a very busy frequency, and it would have interfered with the looser specs in consumer electronics.

A list of cordless phone frequencies, from back in the day when those devices (and baby monitors) provided some interesting close-range eavesdropping, if you were interested. The units that operated in the 43-49 MHz band haven't been manufactured in years. You'd have to go back to 1990s vintage to find one that works.

Under the best conditions, brand new cordless phones and baby monitors couldn't be heard for more than a thousand feet or so. I'd say you've found a pirate station using a business band frequency or someone goofing off with the two way radio in an office somewhere.
