Status[edit]

Reduced activity expected from January to August.

New Sigidwiki Server upgrade is on hiatus until further notice.

On the agenda:

  • Modulation section, which will give an in-depth analysis of different modulation techniques used by signals to transmit data.
  • SDR section, giving information of the capabilities of SDRs in the market today.
  • Reworking the active/inactive categories.
  • New signal entries, as always (backlog of >25+ signals right now, give me time ok)
  • Rework and improve inadequate signal entries, an ongoing venture.
  • Look into using gfycat plugin for motion-based waterfalls for a richer experience.
  • Considering a references/links section for very valuable websites with relevant information.

The below on page http://www.s...ers_Stations is simply wrong. The first articles appeared in Monitoring Times and even PopComm acknowledged that. A single person mobile DF'ed both locations (I should know). Also the 2nd part about telephone wire pair is totally bogus and no article that I am aware of ever speculated that. The arrived at the transmit site via microwave on a 1.7 GHzGigaHertz (GHz) 10^9 Hz frequency (which was not published).

"Several articles in the radio magazine Popular Communications published in the 1980s and early 1990s described hobbyists using portable radio direction-finding equipment to locate numbers stations in Florida and in the Warrenton, Virginia, areas of the United States. From the outside, they observed the station's antenna inside a military facility, the Warrenton Training Center. The station hunter speculated that the antenna's transmitter at the facility was connected by a telephone wire pair to a source of spoken numbers in the Washington, D.C., area."

Anonymous user, First off you state that " (I should know) " and you are who ? Secondly "and no article that I am aware of" - so you admit you dont know it all. This is a wiki feel free to add your contributions and fact checks with backing evidence since " you should know ".

In response to the person who posted about the "Police Idling Walkie Talkie Radio Signal"
I have also found the same signal in the UK which is on the 70cm band it pulses every few seconds with 12MHz BW, I also noticed there is an other pulse signal 30 mhz apart which pulses at a slower pace once every 4 or 5 pulses.

Hi - I just joined, and noted a few things that are incorrect;

a. Serdolink is misspelled - it should be Serdolik

b. There seems to be quite a bit of confusion on the Cuban HM01 listing. DIGTRX is not a mode - it's an app originally written for digital TV, and folks try to use it to read the data sent by this station (only not very well, from what I hear). The mode is an adaptation of a ham mode known as Redundant Data File Transfer or RDFT. You can find listings for this at the well known Numbers and Oddities website, listed as 'AM/RDFT' as the mode
In the next few days I will be adding a lot of software links. Stay tuned...

The last signal "weird moving signal" I know EXACTLY what that is, it is an OLD type of telemetry signal used to remotly send the value displayed on a gauge or dial, It works by taking the circular movement of a needle on a dial (like a thermometer or pressure gauge) and connecting the shaft to a potentiometer and using the pot to control a VCO, you get the data by knowing the "center" frequency and calculating the offset value of the Continuous signal as it moves up and down, the ammount it moves is displayed at the RX end by taking the difference in frequency and using that value to move a dial on a gauge.
This tech dates WAYYY back, back to the 1930's

Anon #7 is ABSOLUTELY right about that "weird moving signal" one, it is used for what s/he said, and more, it used to be used also for seismographic sensor data collection, as follows:

Lay out a LARGE array of sensors, each with one of these analog telemetry TX units, each on a different freq. and you RX it in USB mode, like s/he said to get the data back you have to know the centre freq. and amount the offset of the signals are the data.
I was VERY shocked to see that these are STILL being used, I say that because back then the bands were almost devoid of activity, save for A1A ship to shore comms. When more and more users began to use the radio spectrum these devices were banned because they cause TERRIBLE interference!!! they roam around a centre freq. and can deviate by as much as 100 kcs up or down!

hmm, if its a geostationary satellite, i guess you'll have to figure out the frequency for your specific part of the earth and the satellite that corresponds to that frequency. Geostationary satellites follow the earth's rotation so they stay in the same relative area of the earth, and if this is true i dont think the frequencies would be allowed to mix with other satellites in that region at least.

the 2.4GHz range has a bunch of oddities, and i think i've seen what you got, but may not be from same transmission: http://imgur.com/AmluTy4
If you can figure out the satellite's modulation and specific frequency to be the same frequency you receive, and you do some independant tests where you try to receive indoors vs outdoors, then you can say with some evidence that your signal comes from that particular satellite. May I ask what satellite you're looking at?

Is this the one you suspect to be a satellite? I *think* the 2.4GHz is ISM so many different devices operate on it (not to mention microwaves to say the least). Satellites would probably stay away from this range.
For your signal, is it possible to see how wide these bursts are? In the docx you provided i see a middle point where signal power is decreased, which would suggest that this is the center frequency of the transmission. The sidebands of it therefore must be to the left and right of the signal

hmm, have you been able to localize where it occurs? usually 2.4GHz stuff is near-proximity because of line of sight behavior of microwave band. It might be some sort of 2.4ghz telemetry that's really strong for some reason. It probably isn't a satellite, but then again i haven't had much experience with satellites.

Hi ANgazu, thanks for your work: I've planned to upload updated version of Artemis (with ACF filters, new DB and so on) this evening. Some suggestion about ACF data (to keep some formalism on International System of Unit (SI) and avoid equivocal definitions):

1) Abbreviation of second should be "s" (lowercase) and not "S" (uppercase, Siemens = electric conductance) 2) To keep consistency, all time intervals should be written in ms (milliseconds). For instance, TETRA superframe: 1020 ms

PS: Thanks again for your contribution!

Please make Multi Frequency Shift Keying (MFSK) on the Amateur Radio category green. Along with Olivia, it's used almost every weekend during the VoA tests (2 other stations are also participating). See the link I added in those articles for more information if you're interested. Thanks

You can additionally change these to green;

HF signals (verified by number of logs found in the UDXF Yahoo group) CCIR493-4 North Korean Diplo FSK Packet (kinda rare on HF, more on VHF) PACTOR1 and 2 Serdolik Siemens CHX-200 (last seen in 2015 - rarely reported)

VHF Systems Next Generation Digital Narrowband (NXDN)

Trunked Systems Enhanced Data Access Communications Systems (EDACS) Logic Trunked Radio (LTR) Motorola Type II

I'm unsure as to whether you're in the US or not, but those 3 trunking systems are quite active, and as you noted, EDACS is going EOL in about a year or so. NXDN is a slowly growing trunked app, being used in railroads (and a couple of private and statewide systems)., It's both a trunking and conventional app
I'll adjust the categories over the weekend. Please change these on the main page to green. Thanks

If you have airspy, try using their new Spectrum Spy program which allows you to view a much wider bandwidth in real time. The problem with having a smaller bandpass than the signal bandwidth is you cannot really tell what the signal really is. The vertical line transmission could just be a harmonic from some other much more powerful continuous wave signal. Lots of signals occupy the 2.4 ISM band so it will be hard to figure out where it's exactly coming from.

Hi! I recently made a request about a signal that is always transmitting in the 850 MHz band,in my hometown Santa Tecla, El Salvador. Here's the link to the article.

http://www.s...850_mhz_band

What kind of digital mode that signal, my guess is something related to speech communications but I've never heard something similar.

Is it possible to decode it? Which decoder I should use? Because I've tried DSD+ and nothing picks up.

My rig is only a full vanilla RTL-SDR

STANAG is used by a lot of militaries, not only NATO. It's likely a US based one and yea, propagation conditions can make it so that you can hear it. Since it's just standard FSK, you could try to decode using a generic RTTY decoder, but if it's encrypted you'll only get garbage, or if they're using a different encoding or charset.

Of course! I use my SDR all the time to diagnose issues with my wireless weather sensors. Usually it just comes down to low battery power, but it can also be used to make sure that the signal is received strong enough by the receiver depending on the RF environment.

With Wifi, rtl-sdr isn't really suitable due to the wide bandwidth of wifi compared to the relatively narrow passband of the rtl-sdr. Not sure about the other 2 but they sound like IoT systems, which i believe are in the frequency range of rtl-sdr and are narrow enough to do so.

Hi Vittorio, when something says PSK, C4FM, or 4FSK, these are modulations, not bandwidth. PSK = Phase Shift Keying, using phase of carrier to shift bits. C4FM and 4FSK are unique modes to P25. They're simply how it sends digital data over analog RF channel.

To listen to P25, you first have to find frequency of a P25 control channel or radio channel. They tend to be around 400-550 Mhz or 800-860 MHz.

Hi everyone I am focusing on the demodulation of c4fm modulation which is actually a Continuous Phase 4 Frequency Shift Keying (CP4FSK). The demodulation method of mine works perfectly if time synchronization is done beforehand. By the way I have no Idea how the synchronization is carried out in DMR signals. There is a sync pattern in the document which has 48 bits (or equivalently 24 symbols) by which we can correlate to find the sync signal. But no correlation is found in my synchronization , and no peak is detected.
Would you mind helping with me if you have any experience in the synchronization of DMR ? With regards, Amator Radio Research

There is a signal in Chicago somewhere that's AFSK, but its unlike any AFSK you would usually hear. From the modes being transmitted on this frequency: 454.475 MHz via Ameritech mobile services Utd. there is a couple of AFSK paging links that transmit, but several 2400 baud modulations, which are also POCSAG modulated as well as another 1200 baud version that transmits rather oddly to an AFSK paging link, so in essence im not sure if i'm hearing an uplink repeater to an APOC signal or not. The APOC mode has been requested for too long.

Unfortunately, I do not have a signal sample as I would have to be on the lower end of Southwest Michigan or Chicago to receive.
On flip side, due to the audacity software I have, and the amazing amount of programming I could do with such DSP, I have generated what wouldv'e sounded exactly as one would hear these modulations on this frequency. Will try to give the sample as soon as possible...

Hey Junaid,

what exactly do you mean by an article idea for a guest post at your website? If I undesrstood you correctly, your want to write an article for this website that will be visible to guests or am I confused?

While im not (yet) a mod here, I suppose I could have a look at the article and see if they are any good. I mean with these wikis, the more the merrier when it comes to articles, so sure send some.

That said, a lot of articles here appear half ased, so I guess you could also work on fixing some up.

How exactly will you be able to share the article drafts you have?

Also, im pretty sure you can just edit articles anyway, so why the post when you can put yourself into the citation?

Either way, talk to the admins and or send me the articles to [email protected] as I am new here.
