It sounds like voices, but can't be resolved. Probably HAM, but what
format? USB/LSB/AM fails to clarify it, and it sounds like the simple
scrambling used by some telephones.

Any Ideas? I've heard it before.

Dear Soliloquy,
On my receiver, radio shack dx 394, very strong signals in sideband can be
difficult to clarify. What I do is set the "step" to 0.1 Khz then reduce
gain down to just above inaudible, then try again. Sometimes I have to play
with the knob to get the sound audible. You might try that. I am assuming
you have a better radio and it might have some other options for sideband
tuning. Best Wishes

I had the DX-394, I liked it. I bought mine at a HAM Fest, for about
$120. When I got it home, I realized that the display LCD segments showed
signs of being dim, maybe some were missing. I took the radio apart, then
the display assembly. If memory serves me right, they used a contact pad
to transfer the electrical signals to the completely removable LCD
display. I cleaned the contacts (and probably the LCD Display where it
contacted the pad), and reassembled. The display was as good as new. I do
believe that desoldering and resoldering of a shield for the display was
necessary.

I always get a chuckle when the topic of the DX-394 comes up on this NG.
Despite some people's assertions that the radio is not that good (I do
not hold those assertions), the DX-394 has quite a following. It amazes
me the price that people get for the DX-394 on e-bay.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, I'll look at the tuning step next
time. I use a Yaesu FRG-100 and an Icom R-75, so when I was unable to
receive the signals per my original post, I tried both radios. But it
didn't help.

Thanks.

I don't think it was you. I have received signals like this myself. In
sideband and scrambled.

I trust that this takes it out of the realm of Amaetur. I don't know alot
about HAM, enough to get me my Technician Class license, but I wouldn't
think that scrambling voice transmissions was permitted. I realize that
there are digital communications in use by HAMs, but I don't believe that I
would be able to hear them as well as I could if they were digital.

You're right, scrambled transmissions on the amateur bands are not
permitted.
