That sounds like a FS tone, what freq was it sitting on? |

I think you just have an anomaly Specified Search nationwide area = on State = Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California Frequency Assigned = 171.500 Exclude Leases No matches found we can assume that random scatter isn't causing a tone to catch squelch. we can also assume that its unlikely that the forest service is transmitting illegally if your getting a tone but no audible noise then something is chattering on the frequency it wouldn't be dead air (or open mic) so again its likely a anomaly or equipment failure somewhere |

Interesting. I had no problem finding it in the database: http://interceptradio.com/s.php?sfreq=4 ... 71.500&z=1 It appears to be a common USFS repeater output used in multiple areas. You can search for fed stuff by clicking on "Database Search". It should be near the top of your screen. |

Let me re-phrase; I recognize the tone and associate it some FS freqs. The best time to search for FS activity is during a fire. Be patient, they will come. During the Tripod fire I made contact on 146.520 with the commo guy. He stated during an active fire a lot of freqs are dynamic, with of course exception the area repeater(s). |

IRAC licenses federal agency frequencies so it would be in their database (NTIA GMF). You usually won't find their info in the FCC database. |
