SME Digital Modulation
1038.6002.02 2.127 E-13
2.6.3.14 Radiocommunication Service POCSAG
POCSAG is a standard which in its various implementations (e.g. CITYRUF, SCALL) allows convenient
paging. When equipped with the SME-B42 (POCSAG), SME-B11 (DM coder) and SME B12 (DM
memory extension) options, the SME generates call signals complying to the POCSAG standard. All
essential parameters and the message to be transmitted are freely selectable.
Notes:
-
When POCSAG is switched on, all other DM modulations are automatically switched off.
-
The RF frequency is not determined by the POCSAG standard, it has to be set to the
desired value by means of key [FREQ].
POCSAG settings can be accessed via DIGITAL-MOD-POCSAG menu:

STATE
ON Switch on of POCSAG.
The RF frequency has to be set to the desired value by
means of key [FREQ]. An indication appears in the status
line: "PRE" stands for preamble. "MSGx" stands for
message, the number "x" denotes the current batch, "- - -"
stands for filler data (see POCSAG standard).
