What is this type of signal?

[Tim-B]

I recorded this with an R30 on the brown dot itinerant frequency. Sometimes it comes up on the yellow dot frequency. Usually twice a day and it lasts for various lengths of time. Always on weekdays during the day. Can you tell me what this type of signal is and/or what it is for?

It sounds like GPS RTK.

Thanks for the reply. I want's sure what GPS RTK was so I googled it. There is a large oilfield survey business located less than a mile from where I live. That is probably who I am receiving. I have seen oilfield surveyors out in the field with the round white about 15 inch or so diameter gps antennas on top of a wood pole marking locations. It makes sense that they would be on an itinerant frequency since they will have to travel to many locations throughout the major oil producing states.

The article I read about GPS RTK says it is capable of 1 cm accuracy. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!

better on the Itinerants than some of the other licensed freqs we have found them on.
One nationwide license had them on what could be called "inputs" and killed some local repeaters, till the device developed some impact maintenance on it.

Impact maintenance - LOL. There is some stuff around here I would like to do that to.
