Hi all,
Actually I'm English but have lived in Australia for about 23 years, so I guess that's nearly Australian:)
Have two PCs monitoring two POCSAG frequencies via 2-level discriminators from the discriminator taps on two scanners. Both are decoding 512 and 1200 baud transmissions. External antenna is a Yagi directed at the transmitter which is about 6km away line of sight, with the antenna feed going through a splitter. This setup still misses about 10% of messages, but I'm resigned to it now!!
Love PDW and am also the moderator of the Yahoo PDW-Forum group list.
Big thank you to Peter Hunt and Rene for continuing to keep PDW alive.
I wonder what the future holds for PDW and 'free' decoding as Windows XP moves further out of support, and PCs with native serial ports become extinct?
Cheers
...Steve
