    Ottawa YOW airport

    Palm Beach County POCSAG Ending...

    PDW PDW & Icom 7100 Radio

    I am trying to figure out how to decode PDW messages using my Icom 7100 ham radio. The radio has various data ports in the back. I haven't been able to find any documentation on where the discriminator tap would be (if any exists)... Has anyone accomplished this yet?

    Hi All, I'm trying to setup SDRsharp with PDW to decode P2000 pager messages. I have a RTL-SDR V3 with a standard dipole antenna. The problem is, I do get some scrambled messsages sometimes but most of the times I get UNKNOWN SYNC HEADER : B56C A6C6 AAAA 4A93 Also PDW says the signal is just...
