That signal sounds much like one I am hearing up here in Central MA on
the MURS frequencies. It rotates through all 5 frequencies somewhat
randomly and I hear it over a 4-5 mile radius. Fortunately, it is 20
miles from my home so it doesn't bother me on a daily basis but I do
hear it during my normal commute.
