NeedSec just posted on YouTube a video illustrating how to use a RTL-SDR to decode Flex 1600 pager traffic using PDW, VB-Cable and SDR#. It is always surprising there is still pager traffic as when is the last time you can remember seeing someone with a pager in public. We’ve shared videos showing this sort of thing before, but NeedSec gives a great overview of what you need to do to accomplish successful decoding of Flex-1600.

Not sure why some messages come out garbled though. – Source

In this video Superphish shows a RTL2832 based dongle being used to receive and decode POCSAG/FLEX pager data. Make sure you view the video in 720P to see the text clearly.
