Pager

Decoding POCSAG Pager Transmissions with rtl_fm and multimon-ng

Use GQRX as a pipe:
1. Click the three dots button on the bottom right of the window
2. Go to the Network Tab and set the UDP host and port to localhost:7355
3. Click the UDP Button To start the streaming

Use multimon-ng to demodulate and Interpret the signal:

nc -l -u 7355 | sox -r 48000 -t raw -b 16 -c 1 -e signed-integer /dev/stdin -r 22050 -t raw -b 16 -c 1 -e signed-integer - | multimon-ng -t raw -c -a POCSAG512 -a POCSAG1200 -a POCSAG2400 -a FLEX -a SCOPE -f alpha /dev/stdin
