Well, I entered the SDR world with my new IC-7300! That’s off topic but what I 
have observed with it is very much on topic.

Over the past year I have heard, on all rigs, a carrier sweeping across the 
band (all bands). It is fairy strong.

The landscape ,on the 7300 is fast enough to observe the nature of this. The 
signal consists of actually three peaks that typically start on the low end of 
a given band and sweep the range of 200 KHz in about 2 seconds, with the speed 
being nearly constant, as evidenced by the sloping line that the signal makes 
on the waterfall display.

That line is almost perfectly monotonic across the entire scope window.

In addition, I sometimes see a carrier that makes a back-hand-forth movement on 
the waterfall display.

Does anyone have any idea what be the origin of this signal??

I know it’s not a radio artifact as I have herd this on a dozen different 
radios. Also, if I disconnect the antenna, this is never heard.
