What does this mean?

" Dallas Fire Channel 1 453.875 FD primary Channel. Engine, Truck, Chief Dallas Fire Channel 2 453.900 MICU primary Channel. DFR 11 and DFR 12 which are talk around direct channels. I am using a Motorola Visar radio with MCD1200 enabled to help eliminate the data burst that is typically heard on a scanner. It will eliminate most but not all of the Data burst associated with the units keying up using the MCD1200 signaling. "

I have a radio programmed for Dallas Fire Rescue....and I always hear "beeps" that almost sound like morse code.

Is that the data burst?

Can somebody explain to me what it is and if it's possible to eliminate?

Thanks

Beeps sounding like morse code is usually station ID if this happens about once an hour. How often do you hear it?

If the morse code like sound is a station ID then it should be at the minimum once every thirty minutes.

What you are hearing is repeater ID in Morse Code.
