Thanks very much Leif,

Is it a PSK waveform while idle, or just when transmitting data, or both?

The idling sound pattern is what is intriguing to me, and it got me 
thinking about it being a radar, or something else that act similarly. 
I've heard the data sound pattern and it does sound exactly like STANAG 
4285 data transmissions as you mention.  However, the chop-chop part of 
the idle sound seems remarkably like the Russian "woodpecker" and other 
OTH radars I've heard.  It didn't seem beyond possibility that the 
additional tone patterns were laid on top of (or interleaved with) the 
"chop-chop" part, and I was curious about it.

There are lots of examples of signals embedded, or interleaved with other 
signals which are then later stripped out.  X10 devices might be a good 
example, which use signalling over the 110v AC power lines.  Another 
example might be IP over AC power lines.

I'm very new to this, so I'm sure this has been brought up before and 
dismissed for various reasons.  I just couldn't find any discussion about 
it in my Google searches.

Thanks again,
Mike

Hi Mike,

the station sends 1500 Bd QPSK also in it's idle state.
I suppose the additional tone frequencies that are visible
when the station is in idle mode, are used to synchronize
and align the modems on the remote side.

Some basic info on the waveform can be found here:

Yeah, I'd imagine they are for sync and maybe channel quality measurements

Agreed that the idler which goes "nosiree bob, nosiree bob, nosiree bob 
bob bob" is for sync and channel probes.  This waveform is only used in 
Japan and has stations of varying range on ~13 known frequencies.

The data segments (payloads) are obviously encrypted and usually they 
have the same chop-chop-chop as the idler (though not always).

The casinos seem to be replacing the machine which sounds like this with 
newer video based money eaters.  Future generations will not be able to 
hear something that sounds unsettlingly like Japanese secure 
communication every time they drop a quarter, or two, or three.
