I haven't listened on 80 for those signals but I have herd similar to what you describe in the past. A few years ago there were several companies selling scramblers that inverted the audio. A lot of them went into South America and were used by people for their "private" radio networks. I would guess many were not licensed users.
You can not decode it by switching side bands. It is simply done by mixing the speech with an audio tone and everything comes out upside down. The high frequencies come out as low frequencies and the low frequencies come out at high frequencies and they are offset by the mixing tone frequency. If you listen carefully you can make out a word once in awhile. 73 Gary K4FMX > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:amradio- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of A.R.S. - W5AMI > Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 12:05 PM > To: Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service > Subject: [AMRadio] Odd signals in lower 80 meters > > Has anyone beside Don/KYV and myself heard these odd sounding voice > signals between 3700 and about 3750 that seem to be sideband, but can > not be tuned in either lower or upper sideband?
