The FM transponder sounded good right until I lost it behind my building (I was on a south facing balcony). Then it sounded like someone keyed it up and then it started transmitting what sounded like a solid carrier to my ears. Perhaps someone was taking a photo?

Maybe has something to do with the "camera mode":
"For BY70-1, an open telecommand is designed to allow radio amateurs to send commands to take and download an image. The following article provides some details about it: http://lilacsat.hit.edu.cn/?p=542"
