Thanks everyone for your comments on this. If the weather gets a bit better I will grab the HT and take a walk just to see the range of this. It comes in S9 on 2 rigs made by different manufacturers (well S3 on the Uniden scanner but its a Uniden so).

On FM you don't hear anything but the carrier is still there of course. I suspect it is just one of many birdies from various pieces of electronic gear, either in your house or in your neighbour's house. Too many on 144-148 to even consider tracking down. One specific piece of gear that advertises that it has a birdie at 147.455 is a Radio Shack Pro-2053 Desktop Scanner. But it could be almost anything. ... Phil VE3HST Looking for the perfect gift?
