so, like, yeah, who USED TO use these things? (odd side question too - who still does?) and ..if you don't use them and you still have them ... I'm interested in getting some units that work in the 440MHZ (UHF) band. -- read Ham Radio usage If you have such a unit(s), drop me a note ... Thanks. Dan.
Calling Trevor! I know he used to use one as little as 5 years ago.... I think he has now written a custom Android app to replace what he needed it for... On July 24, 2018 12:10:19 PM CDT, Dan Keizer <ve4drk@gmail.com> wrote:

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) Cheers, Tim On Tue, Jul 24, 2018 at 12:10:19PM -0500, Dan Keizer wrote:

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 ;-) 73, Dan ve4drk On Tue, Jul 24, 2018 at 3:31 PM <tim@fractaldragon.net> wrote:

Ah, cool. Haven't played much with digital stuff yet, would like to mess with SDR as something of a gateway drug. My handheld can support digital repeaters, but there aren't any yet out here. Cheers, Tim On Tue, Jul 24, 2018 at 04:06:30PM -0500, Dan Keizer wrote:

Brad's right, I used them until recently. I think I still have 1 or 2 around on my used lists. Personal email me for details, leave the subject intact. I have no idea what freq they use, but they are both alphanumeric.
