I have been trying to decode POCSAG for almost a year now with a pro-2055 and no luck, I think do to the system being simulcast and me being in between 3 tower locations, I can decode on different frequencies just not the one I need to.
Anyway SDR Sharp maybe the answer, I think I am so close right now, I can decode on 149.7625 ALLLL DAY long no problem, I switch to 154.430 which is our Fire paging frequencies and I cant get anything, well tonight I was finally home for a page and captured it on SDR, I just need to know what I need to do to fine tune this thing now from here to pickup the POCSAG 512 traffic.
I have attached a couple screen shots of what I picked up but PDW didn't decode it, so im assuming maybe because im not in the exact "center" of the pocsag signal? The frequency is 154.430 but the center seems to be 154.433 I am going to try it there and see if that helps at all. I have to use the antenna t hat came with the NooElec because like I said any other antenna is WAY to much antenna, even the stock retractable antenna on my Pro 2055 is to much for this frequency.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
