Ottawa Fire Service Pager Protocol

If you end up moving to the pagermon client let me know I will send you my whole reader.js.

That would be great! I have the pagermon client running with my decoding machine which sends it over to a different machine with the server and pushover integration.

I'm unsure if these messages overnight are failed decodes or not, could you advise?


It looks to be that it took a message and only got bits and pieces of it. I'm running Gqrx and piping the audio to multimon-ng for decoding instead of rtl-fm.

Disregard that. I adjusted the bandwidth of Gqrx last night and accidentally made it too small. This issue is resolved now.

I attached a zip of my reader.js, BTW Look at N8N The integration stuff in pagermon kinda sucks but the webhook part works well so I offloaded all my mediums pages goto..

Thanks for the reader.js file. I’ll add that to my setup later today.

I’ll take a look at N8N. I was having some issues integrating Pushover with Pagermon so that could definitely be a solution. Do you have a public Twitter feed for this integration or is it more of a data logging tool?

Do you have a way of differentiating priority level of pages here or is everything normal priority for Pagermon?

Currently mine is set to send anything with %0% in the capcode to Pagermon as a normal priority message.

I have yet to find a pattern for the CapCodes to even make messages any type of Priority or even filter out some.

I have it running on a private Twitter feed so I can keep track of them on my workstation. I leave TweekDeck running 24/7 on a screen.

Bell is providing their paging service based on the sites.

http://[URL]https://tafl.jonathanmorgan.net

/table.php?rec_lat=45.457095&rec_lon=-75.742480&rec_low=136&rec_high=174&freq=155.61&txrx=both&dist=100&lic=&unique=n&scanner=&service=all&ad=ad&doe=&mob=n[/URL]

Geez, I didn’t even know that jonathanmorgan.net site existed. Personally I like it a lot better than Search Canada's TAFL

I really like being able to actually see where the sites are actually located. Gives me a better indication if I’d actually be able to receive them

Good idea for the Twitter feed. I'm looking into N8N here, are you self hosting it for your setup and if so, is it necessary to expose the container to the web for the Pushover integration?

Currently my Pagermon setup is only accessible locally and seems to work with Pushover (minus the duplication issues altho I see earlier in this thread that N8N doesn't receive duplicate messages)

It needs outside internet access to connect to Pushover but it doesn't need to be exposed to the internet itself for access, you can run it on our your LAN and point pagermon to it using an LAN IP.

I have used multimon-ng in the past for OFS and got the test pages etc. Are all the calls sent over pages though? I wanted to setup a notification if there was something happening on my block but I could not determine if all the calls were getting paged out.

I was just sitting on 155.61 MHz when decoding , is that still the best option ?

155.61 is still the same. And not all calls are sent over pagers but a fair amount are. But with OFS being encrypted now, no way to figure out if pages are/are not being sent.
