Hi guys,
I recently put up a VHF system and I notice on 2M, I hear the noise
floor raise to about S5 for about 2 seconds, and then goes away. This
happens every 20 seconds. I do not hear it on HF, 6, or 70cm. I
originally suspected it was a nearby packet beacon (there are a couple
hams in the neighborhood) but I watched the local packet frequencies of
144.39 and 144.930 without seeing any correlation with a packet burst
and the noise floor raising.
I wanted to post to the list to see if anyone had a similar situation
like this. The radio is a Yaesu FT857D and the antenna is a vertical
ringo ranger for 2m (this will be replaced with a couple halo type
antennas).
Thanks es 73.
