Current and or New transmitters that work with POCSAG

Post by chartofmaryland »

Company I work for has four Micors currently in use for UHF Pocsag. Would the FCC require narrowband on 462.8XX paging? My fear is yes and besides we are scraping the guts out of our last mobiles in trying to keep the Micors going. So, does anyone know of a good replacement ? I'm getting into the Pocsag saga and am new to alot of its operation I know one being deveation shifting along with raw data processing.

If the lights are out when you leave the station and then come on the second you key up, you know you have enough power.

Err, you should be able to send POCSAG with just about anything. It's nothing more than 2-level FSK.

I've seen a GM300 connected to a power amp being used as a paging transmitter (which was spurious as all hell, interfering with amateur and PS ops about 20 miles away, etc.) It worked until the radio went stupid. (The installation was hamsexy as all hell).

If you have a way to generate the audio, you shouldn't have a problem using a garden variety base station (RXR1225, TKR850, etc.)
