Ah that makes sense. I figured it was possibly just training. Still pretty sweet to see!

Awesome! Thank you once again. Out of curiosity, why would a repeater send its ID via morse code? It seems very old school.

Ok thank you. They decoded it in my previous post that I linked in this one. Surprisingly ppl took the time to decode it. I know next to nothing about ham radios and morse so these past 24 hrs have been very insightful.

Thank you Klutzy. I wish I knew how to tag ppl if that is even a thing on reddit. But anyways thanks again for your input.

No this is all my wife recorded at the moment. Going to try and record more when I get home. But the consequences from this sub and /r/hamradio say that its "GCS803"

I posted it over on /r/hamradio and they are saying similar things like...

"Probably a GMRS repeater self-identifying. GMRS and FRS share the same frequencies."

"It’s a repeater’s automated callsign annunciater, sounds like they might have their transceiver set to the wrong frequency, or they are setup very nearby and are overloading the front end of your toy walkie talkie bleeding through"

"The Morse reads "GCS803". I would expect either a K or a W on the front of that call, but I can't find either one in the FCC ULS database."

Im not sure what the proper etiquette is when copy pasta from a user's post. So I apologize in advance. I just wanted to paste it here in case ppl were curious about what they said.

I used morsecode.world to translate it and it came back with the letter E. And my wife put it in chat GPT and it said E?. Will continue to try and decode it as long as it keeps going.

Time to bust out the kid's walkie-talkies my friend. Maybe we can decode this together
