  1. Current state of the project: we're in the decision making phase for which components to use in the next generation of pagers; the new board design is going to be created over the course of summer.

    More info to follow in a few weeks :)

  3. Ever ended up with a POCSAG pager that has only a partial RIC and, at best, a hand-wavy clue about where it is tuned? I wrote this for exactly that sort of nonsense: github.com/yo3gnd/pocsag-probe. It works. Eventually.

  4. Hello EasterHegg, we're on site :)

    Mobile test infrastructure still work in progress, probably on air tomorrow.

  6. Current plans concerning EasterHegg (still might change):
    Only two or three members of our group will make the journey to Koblenz, and we haven't registered for an assembly spot.

    But we plan to bring a few assembled pagers and at least a small test transmitter (very limited range) so we can do a demonstration on the fly.

    If you are interested, leave a comment, and we'll try to organise a little meet-up :)

  8. We're out of hibernation after 39c3 and back to planning! ❄️

    Currently, we are discussing the further progress of the project, including whether and how we could provide a purchasable pager kit.
    Thank you all for your great interest and patience. We will try to come back with more concrete information as soon as possible!

    Meanwile, here is our recap of 39c3 and Norddeutscher Funktag: signalspielplatz.de/Blog.html

  10. Взлет и падение пейджера. История яркой, но быстрой технологии, которую вы можете помнить из 90хх

    Технология пейджинговых сетей интуитивно может казаться чем-то устаревшим. Для тех, кто еще помнит слово “пейджер” это наверняка ассоциируется с девяностыми. Но если задуматься, то пейджинговые сети решали довольно современную задачу: массово рассылали индивидуальные и групповые сообщения тысячам абонентов. В наш век IoT такие рассылки вновь актуальны. Если же копнуть глубже, то мы увидим совсем удивительные вещи: высочайшая помехоустойчивость, сверхизбыточное кодирование и технология энергосбережения батарейки оконечного устройства. Мы сейчас точно про пейджеры, а не про LoRaWAN какую-нибудь? Давайте вкратце вспомним историю пейджера и разберем как без обратного канала умудрялись обеспечить связь по надежности превосходящую мобильный телефон?

  11. Welcome to the future! I love these old Skypers and they have a new life in DAPNET! POCSAG is a great protocol for messages in one direction.

  13. The festival of harmonic measurement after the power amplifier has begun. The power amplifier for 70 cm already has a low-pass filter built in. But I'm still missing 10 dB. #dapnet #pocsag #hp #agilent #keysight

  15. I'm not sure what this signal is, it looks and sounds like a pager, but it never decodes. SDRAngel can only do POCSAG so maybe it's a different protocol. It constantly pulses about every second like an identifier and then occasionally sends a longer message.

  16. Personal messages stop being sent after a while, only after a service restart or a Pi reboot. However, the other RIGS messages are always sent. I've seen in the log that the message is coming from DAPNET but isn't being sent. #DAPNET #POCSAG #PiStar

  18. All our POCSAG transmitters are offline.

    Thank you to everyone who supported us, listened to our talk, tested the coverage in the building, reported successfully received messages, and came to discuss the project!

    See you at Norddeutscher Funktag! (Jan 3rd 2026)

  22. Ich werde einen Sender für das #DAPNET aufbauen. Material ist bestellt und ich bin gespannt. Einen MMDVM mit einem 70cm Band Verstärker mit 10 Watt. Wer hat Erfahrung damit? #pocsag

  24. Day 0 of #39c3 — assembly hardware set up and work going on.

    Come visit us from tomorrow on floor 2 (very close to CERT); and our talk will be on day 2 in Hall 1!

  26. We updated our RIC list on signalspielplatz.de with regard to the event info for 39c3.
    There will be an experimental setup to send event information of the four main rooms prior to the talks happening.

    Please keep in mind that this is still experimental and no continuous service can be guaranteed.

    First batch of 39c3 pagers populated with small components and in the reflow oven!

  32. Hi everyone who signalled interest in receiving pager broadcasts at #39c3 — we decided to reuse the frequency and RICs from EasterHegg for now:

    439.9875 MHz

    RICs   DESC
        8   Sender-ID

    1111  Info
    1122  Tests
    1142  Eventinfos

    2504  Date & Time (Skyper)

    (Changes/additions might still occur for the RICs; the frequency is set.)
