Greetings. I'm trying to use some Motorola Unication Pagers, and they work with POCSAG Mode-3. I noticed while decoding the transmission of my pistar while transmitting pocsag, that the mode is POCSAG-4 under MODE in my decoding software. It there any way to switch to POCSAG-3? I have another dedica...

Re: Narrow Band / Wideband

My pagers are pocsag.. Not sure about the wide band issue.. I tried with my visoplex pocsag encoder, set to 1200 baud, mode 2, and the pagers work just fine. Not sure what the mode selection is in the visiplex, Not much info on it.. I think that transmitter will let me switch from narrow to wide, so...

Re: Narrow Band / Wideband

Thanks for your work on such a great software!

It's really appreciated...


Thanks so much for looking into it. Just a suggestion that will open up the pocsac functions to many more pager units...

Re: Narrow Band / Wideband

I completely understand what you are saying... Didn't know if there was some simple terminal command or something off the ui. Didn't want you guys to reinvent the wheel.. I'll look for another route for my project... This just knocks out a lot of surplus pagers in a market that is already very limit...

Re: Narrow Band / Wideband

The modulation used is FSK with a ±4.5 kHz shift on the carrier. The high frequency represents a 0 and the low frequency a 1. The ±4.5 kHz frequency shift is used along with a 25 kHz channel spacing, known as "wideband". Some jurisdictions require that all systems move to a "narrowban...

Re: Narrow Band / Wideband

Hey guys, I did check and have the correct baud rate. I don't see anywhere in the pager settings to select 7bit data. The pager does alert when I send a message to the cap code, but the text is just scrambled looking. I have several pagers, motorola, unification, etc. I thought this was a motorola, ...

Narrow Band / Wideband

I have several Motorola Advisor pagers. I have them programed to the correct frequency, when I send a manual page with pistar the pager alerts but the alpha part looks garbled. The pagers are locked to narrow band, can't select wide band. Is there a way to select wide or narrow band on pistar for po...
