Can anyone confirm that the baud rate used for the digital paging is 1200?

It is 1200 for SNOPAC, SNOCOM, and NORCOM

Thank you!

Oops I read your reply wrong.

Still wanting for someone to confirm Valleycom uses 1200.

I confirmed that ValleyCom does indeed use 1200 baud.

Yup, sure is.

I decided to setup PDW and read a thread a bunch of you guys chimed in on.
Using the Sound card option with audio cable.
Tried two diff scanners. And old school RS PRO-43 and a Uniden BC246T.
Neither of which will tune to the exact frequency.

The PRO-43 was very poor decode. Around 50%.
The Uniden seems to work best. It tunes to 152.0100 and I get a decode of 90% or so for SNOPAC, SNOCOM, NORCOM.

I can't decode any ValleyCom pages. I sent a few test pages to my pager and I can hear the data just before my pager fires off but no decode :( I'm sure it's due to poor signal quality.

From what I read, 90% decode is about as good as it gets with my setup.

You will notice that there is one common Cap Code on every call for SNOCOM.

Ya, I see at least on common cap code that goes out with each SNOCOM page. Then several others which I assume is for each person assigned to the apparatus.

Rod, the Pro43 should be easy to modify for the d-tap. Your decode will then be about 98%+

Ya, I looked in to that and found some info on it.
However, I don't think I have the skills to do it. :(
