I can remember getting my Yaesu FT-5100 into some strange mode that sounded exactly like that every time I keyed down. Three DTMF digits (I never knew which ones) but the tones did not change between digits. Sounded exactly like your wave file.

My old TH-77 did, The default code was also "000". Although I have never heard of a radio just beaconing.

The DTMF sounds like it is coming from an autodial feature. My HT has this feature and so does my mobile rig.

Using a five kc. wide FM detector---The signal is approximately one second in duration---- opens with 100 hz. PL (which continues throughout) and then three DTMF "zeros" follow in rapid succession and then possibly a short period of some sort of data. The signal repeats exactly two times an hour and the source is off in between transmissions. This goes on continuously without interruption or apparent change. Our area is between urban and big city and the signal is strong enough to be heard over a wide area using only an HT. A wave file of the mystery signal is at: http://www.radagast .org/~dplatt/ hamradio/ Signal_3. wav using an FM detector with wide open squelch. We are obviously very interested in identifing this signal and its origin---- What is it ? Thanks-- Scott, N6NXI -------- Any questions? Get answers on any topic at Yahoo! Answers.
