Pager decodes

[Markdarren]

Hi all

I am decoding pagers (newbie) and I’ve picked up what I think might be fire pagers on 147:800

Despite the fact I have stations close to me I’m picking up ones miles away and not getting the ones close to me? Could this be a different pager system they use?

Hi Markdarren.
Could be different system, different speed, different frequency - so many variables!  Do you know the system your local fire service use?
