What was throwing me on the ID string is it starts N/ weird... waiting for
it to repeat

Data modes do not belong in the SSB sub band...

APRS would be AFSK same as packet like you'd hear on 144.390 FM.

I think I copy the ping as "HI"  .... ..

There is a narrow multi-tonal (but fewer tones) burst about 200 Hz wide just
before the 2 KHz one.

Good chance it's amateur and not commercial though so that's good.
Probably someone experimenting which I'm all in favor of.

If someone can copy the CW that would cool but that's not me either.
