[TheList] Pager Decoding

Sun Jan 10 12:04:22 AEDT 2021

Hi Guys,
Happy New Year to one and all.
I have a little query regarding pager decoding using the PDW software 
and I'm not sure if it's a setting that's wrong
or the way I've set this up.
For years I used this program to monitor the Fire Service FLEX paging on 
157.9500, using a Uniden UBC-9000 scanner
via a discriminator tap I'd installed in it and it worked good as gold, 
until one day the scanner just stopped
receiving anything at all (it's on the list of things to fix, once I get 
around to it).
Today I tried the software again, just out of curiosity with a handheld 
scanner plugged into my laptop microphone
input, I'm pretty sure I have all the audio levels correct and the 
software is running fine, but it won't decode anything?
I got a few POCSAG messages but that was it, have I messed something up 
here?
Does anyone else here use a setup like this?

Cheers,
Mike Trump.
