Re: Taxis

I'm still trying to figure out how to decode POCSAG correctly. I don't have a discriminator output on my scanner but I've been told that you can fiddle with the volume levels and baud rate while using the line in on your sound card and the headphone out jack on the scanner.

Below is a valuable website for Victorians to register to: http://www.incidentalert.com.au/iav4/default.asp
You receive an email or SMS when there is a fire in your area.

I truely hope they catch the mongrel that started the blaze over in Gippsland.
