Used for off-air decoding of POCSAG, FLEX, ACARS, MOBITEX or ERMES signals. When using Windows 95 or 98, the driver Comprt.vxd should be loaded automatically. For newer operating systems (like XP, Vista) you will need to manually install the driver.
This free windows software allows you to decode digital signals like flex pocsag ermes mobitex and acars. This resource is listed under Software/Decoders, at PDW Paging Decoder resource page via dxzone.com ham radio guide.
I was born in, a very beautiful famous city in Iran. I started programming when I was 12 years old with GWBASIC. Since now, I worked with various programming languages from Basic, Foxpro, C/C++, Visual Basic, Pascal to MATLAB and now Visual C++.
I graduated from in Communication Eng., and now work as a system programmer for a telecommunication industry. I wrote several programs and drivers for Synthesizers, Power Amplifiers, GPIB, GPS devices, Radio cards, Data Acqusition cards and so many related devices. I'm author of several books like Learning C (primary and advanced), Learning Visual Basic, API application for VB, Teach Yourself Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and etc. I'm winner of January, May, August 2003 and April 2005 best article of month competetion, my articles are: • • • • You can see list of my articles, by clicking.
Member 10408568 18-Nov-13 0:42 18-Nov-13 0:42 Hello First of all thanks for your software. I only don't understand a strange behaviour when I put low addresses. For example if I put 9 as addresses, I see that the ADDRESS CODEWORD seems to be 0X0000, because the correspondidg frame has only 16 bits (0X3B49), so I guess the early 16 bit are 0s. But the address codeword for 9 shouldn't be all 0, is it right? So where is the problem? May I have misunderstooded the protocol? I hope To be able to explane my problem.
Thank again and B/R. Tgahner 18-Dec-12 21:15 18-Dec-12 21:15 dear sir, i know its been some time since you have worked on this project ant im no programer. I am interested in a viable software solution.
I am looking to work paging ove the ham bands where i am licensed and aloud to do so. Please understand my limited programing understanding and i would need a bit of understanding on finalizing this project if you have the time. I would also need it to be able to run at a baud rate of 512.
If you can find the time to help i would be greatfull. You have my email thanks again --tim. Stephenvs 8-Apr-07 21:40 8-Apr-07 21:40 Dear Sir, Here by I kindly submit my product enquiry. Following are the points that I would like to highlight and verify. At present we are using a paging system, we would like to replace the glenyare paging system into PC software based paging system.
I have two sources of data feed. Data feed 1 and Data feed 2. Data feed 1 (POCSAG1200), Data Feed 2 (POCSAG2400). Can I use your system to send both data simultaneously to transmitter?
With Remain paging terminal operations such as Subscriber information Area System Activity monitoring System Maintenance Area Remote login Transmit queue status etc., Please kindly quote us. Or please propose any other system can suite to this requirement. Please send me a quotation as soon as possible. Thank you Stephen.v.s H/P 0060 12 588 4218. Replace Glenyare Paging Terminal by Software.

Donations Since Peter Hunt took over PDW in 2003, it has been freeware. Although Peter never wanted to earn money with PDW, some people kept on pushing him to offer a donation option. If you feel like donating, you can use or consult the manual for other options. Version 3.12 (28 July 2013) Bugfixes: • Fixed some deprecated coding techniques so PDW can be compiled with Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 • Fix to prevent filter array overrun when moving items in window • Fix in POCSAG parsing prevent buffer overrun • Fixed truncated messages in Mobitex Cosmetic: • Link to PDW-website points to this page • Copyright reflects Open Source license Version 3.1 (26 September 2010) Bugfixes: • Due to a small mistake, Mobitex could not be decoded via the soundcard. Block Duplicate Messages This existing option has been extended and can now be configured in three ways: • Previous address+message is the same (no timer) • Previous message is the same (no timer) • Previous address(+function)+message is the same The first option compares the current capcode and message with the previous. The second only checks the message text. The last option compares the address (and when monitoring pocsag, also the function number) as well as the message text.
This last option also enables a timer (1-9 minutes). If a message is repeated within this period, it will be blocked. Also, you can now enable or disable the blocked.txt file to which blocked messages are logged. Version 3.0 (10 August 2010) Bugfixes • In ERMES, sometimes the message text was copied after the previous message RS232 As some of you probably already know, RS232 is a standard for serial data communication. The well-known 2 and 4 level slicers which can be used with PDW don't observe the RS232 standard.
This is the main reason why additional drivers are needed (comprt.vxd or slicer.sys) and why Serial-to-USB converters are useless. These converters don't only convert the hardware, they also convert the RS232 data to USB-level. An has been developed especially for PDW, which does observe the RS232 standard. No more drivers are needed, which can solve problems with serial PCMCIA cards, and the interface also allows conversion to USB. Below are the modes/bitrates which are currently being supported: • Pocsag (512/1200/2400bps) • Flex (1600bps) • Mobitex (8000bps) Using two DIP switches on the interface, 4 data speeds can be selected: • 512bps (Pocsag) • 1200/2400bps (Pocsag) • 1600bps (Flex) • 8000bps (Mobitex) This means that ERMES and ACARS are not supported and when Flex and Pocsag are combined on one network, only one mode can be decoded at once.
Only a combined Pocsag 1200/2400 network can be decoded without having to change settings. Invert Data In the Interface Setup window the data's polarity could be inverted, or set to Auto. This automatic detection will now allways be used, you can't select a manual setting anymore.
RX-Quality One of the things which could be found in the Debug window (F12) was the RX-Quality (decoding quality). This value is now being shown below the signal indicator and is an indicator for decoding errors. These errors can be either visible (garbled messages or coloured characters), or invisible (corrected by the error correction).
If the signal is strong enough (without noise), an RX-Quality of 100% should be possible. Version 2.60 (24 March 2010) Bugfixes • When using the command file, memory would slowly run short. Filters The filters.ini layout has been changed. The numbering has been removed and the FilterCount is not more than an indication. Loading of the filters should be a bit faster, maybe only noticable on slower systems. 7-digit capcodes can now also be saved without two preceding zeros.
When searching for 'duplicate filters', PDW will keep on running on the background. After searching a filter, F3 could be used to find the next filter. SHIFT-F3 can now be used to search backwards.
SMTP port number The default SMTP port number is 25. You can no also define a custom port number.
Wordwrap The word wrap option has been removed. Internally it is now always enabled, except when monitoring Mobitex. Logfile The two icons to open/close the logfile are merged into one icon. This will open the Logfile Dialog in which the logfile can be enabled or disabled. ALT-L can be use as shortcut to this dialog. Version 2.53 (11 January 2009) Bugfixes • When monitoring ERMES, it didn't seem to be possible to change the color for time/date. By mistake, PDW seemed to use the color of the Paging time/date (Pocsag/Flex).
• The daily statistics (ALT-S) were logged to the wrong file (the next day in stead of the previous). Double click / text selection Before, at the second click the text below the mouse cursor would be selected, regardless of the position of the first click. Both clicks should be at the exact same position, otherwise you can rapidly click on two different words, causing the second to be selected. Should be fixed now. The double click speed in PDW was fixed, although you can set the double click speed in Windows' Control Panel. This timer is a bit different than the timers in PDW, but I've tried to use about the same time for double clicks in PDW. Find Filter window I've made several changes in the Find Filter window.
When this window will be closed after searching, you can use F3 to search again, using the same search string. Because of above change, but also on request, PDW will remember the the 'Case Sensitive' selection for as long as it runs. Before, the selection would disappear when the Find Filter window was closed. The option 'Search while Typing' has been removed. PDW will now always search while typing. Also, the number of hits will appear, the number of times the search string appears in the filters.
This number will be updated after each key stroke. Filter window Some extra keys can be used in the Filter window. As in other software, the space bar will scroll down, just like the 'PageDown' key. If you wanted to delete a non-consecutive number of filters, this was possible with the 'Delete' button, but not with the 'Delete' key, which should be fixed now. The 'Enter' key would close the Filter window, but now the selected filter will be opened for editing.
I don't think you will have to use the mouse often anymore. Version 2.52 (12 October 2008) Bugfixes • If more than one groupcall was sent in frame 00/000, there was a slight chance that not all of them would be displayed. • When selecting more than one filter in the filter window (using SHIFT), sometimes the wrong filter would be used as the starting point. • After copy/pasting one or more filters, the last selected filter would remain selected, instead of the pasted filter(s).
Date format Besides the date formats DD-MM-YY and MM-DD-YY you can now also select YY-MM-DD. (Options -> General) Block Duplicate Messages in Filter Window Once again, a little change regarding this option. It seemed desirable to block duplicate messages in the filter window also. Before, PDW only checked for duplicate messages in the monitor window, which could cause situations like this: 1234567 09-10-08 14:57:49 Message-1 7654321 09-10-08 14:57:50 Message-2 1234567 09-10-08 14:57:51 Message-1 Nothing would be blocked in the monitor window, the first and last message are no duplicate because of the middle one.
If you wanted to filter Message-1 (code 1234567), but not Message-2 (code 7654321), Message-1 would appear twice in the filter window. This is solved now, a separate comparison will be made for filtered messages. The only oddity could be that the second instance of Message-1 would appear in het monitor window, but not in the filter window, causing the message to be blocked 'partially'.
However, this change will lead to less duplicated messages in the filter window. Version 2.51 (16 August 2008) Bugfixes Mobitex Base-IDs In the previous version I've made lots of changes regarding Mobitex. Unfortunately, I've made a little mistake in decoding the BaseIDs, causing them to be displayed wrongly.
Pocsag Decoding
So if you have already started collecting IDs of base stations in your area, I'm afraid that you will have to start all over again:-( Double mouse click / text selection With a double (left) mouse click you can now select a word or address, which you can add to the clipboard using CTRL-C (or a right click and 'Copy Selection'), so you can easily paste it somewhere else. Block Duplicate Messages Regarding this option, I received a request to only check the message text. Before, PDW compared -if this option was enabled- the current address and message with those of the previous.
If there was a match, the second would not be displayed. However, it seemed desirable if only the message text could be compared, so consecutive messages with the same text, but different addresses, could also be blocked. Next to the option 'Block Duplicate Messages' you will now find 'Only check message text' which will make PDW only check the message text. Regardless of this change, the option 'Block Duplicate Messages' blocked a bit too much in Mobitex. Messages with the same MAN, but different TYPEs would also be blocked. This would only occur with so-called status messages when the Mobitex option 'Verbose' was enabled. Mobitex Verbose / Sweep Frames If the Mobitex option 'Verbose' was enabled, status messages and sweep frames (containing base station information) would appear.
Sweep Frames can now be showed apart from status messages. Battle los angeles full movie hd in double audio download mp4. In the Options window you will now find 'Show Sweep Frames (BaseInfo)' next to 'Verbose'. Version 2.5 (19 July 2008) Mobitex In the previous versions I already made the first changes regarding Mobitex. This version contains only Mobitex changes. Not everyone likes to monitor Mobitex, since most data is unreadable. But I discovered that lots of issues were decoded wrongly. MANs Already in the previous version, I was wondering how the 'messages' were addressed.
