I run some digital RF systems on Pi's for different modulation (ie: DMR/DSTAR/P25/etc) and a new interface was added on - POCSAG :-)
there is a standard international paging frequency for hams in the 70cm ham band -- i just installed the upgrades to my own device and wanted to see how it worked - other than just seeing the RF on the SDR ;-)

I still do (rural fire dept in BC), but it's the same frequency as our
primary channel on 155.04.

I could potentially have an ancient text pager around if I haven't
chucked it in the move. I know basically nothing about it, but would
have been something I subscribed through MTS about 25 years ago.

What are you looking to do? I got my own ham license a few months
back, so always curious. (VA7TJL)
