Any of you guys having any success with POCSAG decoding in the Province?I've been trying for days now and getting nowhere.I'm in the South Down area.I'm getting some data bursts but decoding nuttin!Hanx.

hi , ive tried it for a while last year, got a few but were from across the water no local, its all to do with your volume settings. a lot of jiberish come's threw but just keep playing with the settings an you will start to see read able text.

had a go at it last year using PDW, took ages to get going and get a decent signal but when i did there wasnt much in the way of local stuff, im in the Coleraine/Ballymoney area, though did stumble across a couple of local messages one evening relating to roads in my local area and traffic accident details. not sure if it was fire brigade pager or some sort of ambulance dispatch?

havent tried it since as ive moved house since then.

OK guys thanx for that.I'm getting nowhere myself.I just wanted to see if anybody is this area had any success.I'm getting plenty bursts but mainly stuff with 'Tone Only' and general gibberish.Not to worry.

I tried this a while ago but had absolutely no luck at all. I could clearly hear the data burst sounds on the scanner but no matter how I adjusted the levels I couldn't get anything. I think you need a discriminator output on your scanner. I don't think mine had that so I gave up. I'm sure it would be interesting all the same.

I'm gonna give the disc.tap a go ringo and see how that goes,but I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on it>I just hate to see it get the better of me!
