What frequency are you hearing it on?

I have been chasing a similar problem here in California. If we are
hearing the same signal it must be from a satellite! I think it is
more likely intermod from the local PD data packets. The police cars
have full data terminals. I haven't tried a direction finder on it.

Good morning on this soggy, Friday Morning.
We’ve been experiencing a recurring problem every once and a while.
It’s not our repeater, but its driving me nuts trying to figure it
out. It sounds like badly tuned can’s, somehow feeding the output back
into the input. Except, it isn’t from our repeater. And it covers a
wide area. I’ve heard another repeater being bothered by this and also
a local commercial FM broadcaster came through. If I turn our repeater
off, it’s still there. ( I said I was trying anything.)
Do you guys think trying to use direction finding equipment might
produce some results??
Oh, this noise is so strong, even my signal at 25watts at a distance
of 4 miles won’t trigger the repeater!
Any ideas??
Suggestions??
