Pagers

Post by pete_uk »

Hi all

I've just got back to listening into the VHF pagers mainly the Page One pagers I receive on 153.35mhz but as well as that pager signal I am now getting a much shorter burst paging tone (that I have heard before on a slightly lower frequency). I don't seem to be decoding this slightly offset signal and I'm wondering if anyone here can shed any light on it?

Thanks

Well, today i have Cubic SDR running and there is no other short burst just offset from 153.35 so maybe it was a error in the software?

You have POCSAG on 153.350 and FLEX on 153.025.
RNLI are on 153.075 and Fire Service on 147.800
