Strange beeping?

Post by xenomorph »

Was listening to 80m amateur band lsb on 3531.65 & 3535.10 kHz on a websdr when suddenly this beeping started: Download It's just continuous now. Anyone know what it is? Just curious as I was listening to some weak transmissions before it started.

I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head but the noise you heard is actually a military data mode.

It can pop up in various places depending on what bands they were using.

Caught it this morning in and got a recording.
