General Radio Discussion / Re: can you help me identify these sounds

« on: November 04, 2012, 0249 UTC »

That was my first time evar posting on this forum. I am so intensley happy that I finally have people I can ask questions to! I'm such an amateur though, that even half the stuff you guys posted is a total mystery to me but I look forward to learning more.

This is probably a dumb question, but how and where did you guys learn all this stuff? What's a good resource for newbies who aren't very smart but are completely fascinated by radio?

I'm just using a Grundig G3 world traveller so obviously my range and capabilities are going to be limited.

I third what Fansome & Beerus said.

The big thing is to listen & research.

They're in AM and I currently see a very weak AM carrier there.

General Radio Discussion / Re: can you help me identify these sounds

« on: October 28, 2012, 1855 UTC »

#1 definitely sounds like a pager. It will sound better if you listen in FM. If you have another receiver, hunt around 150.8 - 162 MHz and see if you can find one that's the same. Hopefully this (and #2) are just images in your receiver. If not, the FAA will be upset.

I've heard #2 millions of times before. Don't know what it is, but we've got this thing around here. Listening to it right now on 452.29375 MHz.  It ID'd (every 15 mins) and its callsign is KNHV797, which is Suburban Taxi here in Minneapolis/Bloomington, MN. The FCC lists them at 452.3000 MHz, so perhaps the FCC isn't up to date (e.g. recent upgrade) or the RTL-SDR is off frequency.

Was #3 on 205 kHz? If so, might be some PLC or other data monitoring system.


And paging is still in use. Saw someone carrying a Motorola pager just a couple of months ago, of the same type I used to carry 10+ years ago. Could feel my blood pressure rise just looking at it.
