Hi all,

Trying to setup a Uniden UBC355XLT to scan the SAGRN paging feed. No problems tuning the scanner to 148.8125mhz. Connecting it via 3.5mm - 3.5mm cable to the mic input on a computer. Having trouble getting the feed to work in PDW. Anyone have any advice on what settings i should be selecting (configuration, sample rate, etc)?

Cheers

I haven't any experience with that radio, but I have got a 3300xlt working without a discriminator tap.

It took a bit of stuffing about with the volumes to get pdw working happily - both radio output and computer input.

pdw seems to like a strong, clear feed from the radio with no distortion from high volume, and radio location to ensure a clear signal also impacted my setup.

I think I got it all plugged in, then spent some time working through the full volume range of the radio. When garbled text started appearing on the screen, I could fine tune the volume adjustment.

For memory there are test pages sent every minute or 30secs, so you have a fairly constant stream to let you tune the system.
