Unknown digital signal
« on: February 20, 2019, 0253 UTC »
All,
   Can anyone help me determine what digital mode this is?  I've heard it a couple times on other frequencies.  At first I thought it might have been some variant of PACTOR, but the sweeping signals through me off.  Thanks.

Go with your gut.  That is indeed PACTOR IV.  The sweeping tone is called a 2 tone chirp, and is part of the P IV.
