Is there an area where pager frequencies are specifically listed? I see only a few when looking at the Frequencies for Berkeley County when I know there are others I can see using a SDR. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I am setting up SDRuno and PDW to get paging information. RR shows a paging freq for the Berkeley (WV) Medical Center. But searching this area does not return that freq in this area. I will keep playing. I can see several paging systems on the waterfall display and can decode some. But I cannot seem to find any reference. I suppose I am just not searching the database properly. Thanks
You can't rely on the db to be accurate.RR shows a paging freq for the Berkeley (WV) Medical Center. But searching this area does not return that freq in this area.
The 152/158/454/459 paging licenses for Part 22 are mostly ETA licenses. They aren't site specific anymore. There are still some site-specific licenses out there, but most of the channels are licensed under ETA licenses from Auction 40 in 2001. I hold several of those licenses and it is really convenient to be able to put up a repeater anywhere in my ETA without having to license it every time.![]()

No 454.xxxx Frequencies In The FCC Data?
Whenever I search for FCC data, if the frequency is in the 454.0000 - 455.0000 range, I never get any results, even though I have several active frequencies in that range. For example, there's a hotel on 454.125 and I'm trying to figure out what hotel it is. We have a Hillsborough County...forums.radioreference.com
Thanks for both pieces of advice.You can't rely on the db to be accurate.
The 462.775 in the db has an expired license.

You should also be aware that decoding digital (or tone-voice) paging signals in the US is probably illegal since that is one of the things defined in 18 USC 2510 as not "readily accessible to the general public".![]()
