There are ionospheric chirp sweepers that go through the hf spectrum every couple of minutes. They sound like someone lightly clearing his throat. Have no idea what it looks like on the pan display. On a given frequency you'll hear the chirp at the exact same time every couple of minutes

Maybe "sweeping" for checking antenna SWR .... or "memory tuning'' of PA's

the ones I can't figure out are the key  down and then sweep across the
band with their VFO knob. I have bee seeing them since I had a soft rock
pan display and now on the P3. They are almost continuous. they stop
occasionally to QRM a QSO and then keep going.
