I got my hampager in the mail and @sa7sse joined in on the fun by sending me a page from his DMR radio.

@slaveriq @sa7sse what model pager is that?
Show threadDavidJan 21, 2020

@graffen @sa7sse it's a china clone of the alphapoc pager 602R.

I would probably just by it on
https://www.alphapoc-europe.de/epages/es754865.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es754865/Products/602R now. Then you need a hotspot (since no repeater near by) and a user on hampager.de

@slaveriq @sa7sse
Do I need the programmer too or is the pager itself enough? 😊

@graffen @sa7sse as long as it's set to run on 439.9875 you should be fine without the programmer.
You can program the RICs in the menu.

@graffen @sa7sse There isn't that many high power senders around here, so you probably want to use your DMR hotspot to send POCSAG (it's fairly easy to setup)

@slaveriq @sa7sse that was my plan 😊

@graffen @sa7sse Nice, and if you end up needing a programming cable. My clone came with one. :D
Show threadJesperJan 22, 2020
@slaveriq @sa7sse I still need to come up with a good use case for it though. I'm sure there are plenty of cool things I can do.

@graffen @sa7sse You can set the frequency from the menu as well. I changed it on mine, since the one the germans use is outside of the ham frequencies for Sweden (and maybe Denmark as well).

@slaveriq @sa7sse is there an agreed-on frequency for ham POCSAG in our neck of the woods?

@graffen @sa7sse I don't know, i just dropped it down to 437 (otherwise the same frequency just dropped by 2 MHz)
Show threadDavidJan 23, 2020
@graffen @sa7sse Dropped it down to 433.987500 to not interfere with satellite stuff.
@DC7IA do you know if there is an other agreed upon frequency for pocsag?
