Seattle Repeater Group Data Burst Decoding

Seattle Repeater Group (SRG)'s highly computerized repeater is located "High atop Green Mountain" eight miles west of Bremerton, Washington on the Kitsap Penninsula. It is allocated the frequency pair 146.28/146.88. The 88 Repeater provides (instead of a "Courtesy Tone"), a short burst of 9600 Baud FM data at the end of each transmission.
