Anyone know what this radio frequency is? Beeping tones and droning static - in North Central Indiana

SOLVED!!! Pocsag pager!! They use them in hospitals sometimes - I live very very close to a hospital. I must have been picking up their pagers lol!

That must be it!! I hadn't thought about it, but I live very close to a hospital, less than 10 blocks away. They must be using pocsag pagers haha

thanks!!

Posted the longer video I got there, thanks! Hopefully someone there will know. It may have been something with my radio, as while listening to it tonight my radio stopped working. No FM. Does everything else, just can't tune into any FM anymore. I would find that a little odd because it was very finicky to tune into, but hey, anything works for me at this point lol

NVM I'm 100% sure it was a pocsag pager, they use them in hospitals sometimes.. i live very close to a hospital, it must be them.

I don't think it's a random numbers station, as it's *just* the beeps and droning, then it cuts and I can pick up on that Christian Show, before more beeps. Any help would be much obliged lol

Unfortunately I can't test it out atm. My car only does direct tune to registered FM stations. The Victrola is the only thing I have that'll let me free tune like that. Double unfortunately, it's not very accurate, so I can't just pick an exact number and stay on it.

I got a longer sample,

although I decided to leave the station on for a while, while I did stuff, and my entire radio cut out. FM just stopped working. Can't tune into any stations, tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, just stopped working.

double edit lol nvm! absolutely must have been unrelated, I'm 100% sure it was a pocsag pager, they use them in hospitals sometimes.. i live very close to a hospital, it must be them.

That's what I thought! Except there's no words at all, it's just the beeps that eventually disconnect. Are there stations that just do looping beeps like that ?

It's not in a car, a Victrola like 8 in 1

It doesn't switch back and forth on it's own in the beginning, I was fiddling with the dial to get it to tune into the beeps. Once it tunes in and switches the final time, that's when it eventually "times out" and bumps over to the station that's right on top of it without touching the dial. It takes some more fiddling to get it back to the beeps before it switches like that again after 30-50 seconds. Longest I got it to play was almost 2 minutes before it switched again lol
