[TheList] PDW and Decoding

Mon May 31 12:56:02 AEST 2010

Hi Everyone just wondering.....

I run windows 7 and have downloaded PDW 2.60 and have got it working, however when I decode stuff I dont really get many messages, certainly not like I used to a few months ago, dont see any fire turnouts or ambo turnouts.

I live in the manawatu and the freq im scanning is 157.925

I am only interested in fire and amb, dont care about anything else, my scanner is ubc60xlt, and still works fine, can hear voice channels np, I have an external aerial connected to roof through bnc...only thing I can think off is PDW isnt setup correctly, although I do see these messages
