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.
Using PDW for Windows to decode pagers. You need to have stereo mix or some sort of audio loopback to be able to do this. Look around 930mhz in your area to see if you have pager data. – Source
In this videoSuperphish 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.
Note: This is likely illegal in most parts of the world, especially sharing what was received.
