Heard what sounded like morse code or something on 164.000 a couple of hours ago(beep beepbeep beeep) .Also lots of transmissions with no voice message in them.
Any ideas what it was?

Re: Morse
They're starting to use the MDT's again for times to cut down on transmissions. May well have been an MDT message.

Re: Morse
MDT's run over the mobile phone network (was CDMA, would be NextG now). They were brought in, in part to get rid of the VSU traffic off the radio network.Tyranus wrote:They're starting to use the MDT's again for times to cut down on transmissions. May well have been an MDT message.
You'll often hear a repeater beeping if it has a problem (eg, power outage)...

Re: Morse
No, I heard the same toned beep for different lengths of time, almost certain it was a morse message of some description.vk6hgr wrote:Did it sound like this?Smithy wrote:or a selcall?

Re: Morse
If it's what I'm hearing now on 78.050 a very high pitched beeping, then no I don't think it is morse. It may be a setup for controlling the repeater or something like that.

Re: Morse
i heard 2 different types. the first was teh transmission with the crackle, but then what sounded like someone typing in numbers on a phone, very slowly but. the next about 2 minutes later was a long beep asif they were holding the button. this went on for about a minute and 6AR were not happy. you could hear people trying to transmit but couldnt
Re: Morse
6AR's comms panel played up this evening, couldn't transmit for a short period of time at all.

Re: Morse
Have heard a couple of times last week a comms tech state that they were doing some tests and would try to keep the interruption to a minimum. May/Maynot have something to do with it.
