Decoding Pagers with FLEX - A. After some time since my last post and a loada tweeking I have managed to decode Flex pagers. These are as stubborn to decode as any I have done in the past. They remain in a sort of limbo between clean packets and a raw tone which counts before it decodes the pager. If you see at the top of the screen the Cycle and Frame data. Unlike Post Office Code Service Advisory Group or POCSAG it is always sending.....and a lot more frequent. Some of the pagers I have edited out as they contain some explicit content. No special other components needed with this one just gentle tweeks of the volume and minor adjustments to the program. I can't explain what tweeks as it was done over a period of a few hours until the pagers remained constant (Kinda reminds me of the first time I decoded Sky series 7 cards and Dmac and later D2Mac in the analogue satellite TV days with Markus Khun's software. From what I gather I was one of just a first very small few that decoded the lot (many many mmaannyy tweeks later). If anyone is still reading this I will make a short video of the D2Mac decoder's guts and how I got around the encryption year after year with just a IBM 386 and a littlle know how (considering I was 15 at the time). Just a few caps by the way on a PCB with a MAX232 and 74LS04 a few 1uf 50v caps and just an indicator LED. Modified later to the Eprom and Pic combination which came later for D2Mac purposes but needed constant updating.
