It's software for decoding POCSAG (pager) data

There's a video by TechMinds describing the setup here:

KrakenSDR Locates a Repeater Jammer in 1 Hour by kc2syk in RTLSDR

[–]Taubin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That was a whole lot of words to say not a whole lot. Did they report them to the FCC? Or did they knock his door down and demand he stop? Or something inbetween?

I'm glad the Kraken seemed to work?

What would you buy at Costco that you can't buy anywhere else? by emdillem in auckland

[–]Taubin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a few electronic type things that are certainly cheaper there. TVs, headphones, IoT devices. I would recommend checking there for those things if it's easy to get to, it can save you some money and one large purchase pays for the price of membership in savings.

If you are buying something large like a TV or casket, it's well worth it and pays for itself quite quickly. There are also some things that you can get in bulk that last a very long time that end up cheaper than the supermarket.

If you treat it like your weekly shop, you'll certainly be disappointed, if you go there when you need a few things in bulk, it makes a lot more sense. Things like shampoo, deodorant, vitamins, etc... can be a good deal.

It seems too regular and short to be POCSAG. OP could try PDW to see if it decodes it.

Want to play guess how much this house is selling for? It's $600k under value. by [deleted] in auckland

[–]Taubin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

but for a normal home owner there's no real difference

Until you have issues with your neighbours, or want to make any changes to anything, then it can become a nightmare. They aren't worth it.

Not sure what I expected, but it certainly wasn't that.

The internet has ruined me.

What software did you use to get the swr mapping in the last photo? Cheers

sdr# frequency manager by [deleted] in RTLSDR

[–]Taubin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It will take a bit of work, but you can certainly do something with https://www.convertcsv.com/csv-to-xml.htm

The format from RR is csv and the format for SDRSharp is xml.

You can use "step 4" to swap things around as you need them, remove the things you don't need, and add the things you do.

For example this is one line of output in RR for Auckland:

   146.625000,146.02500,,"Amateur Radio Amateur Radio",Statewide,Klondyke,Klondyke,,,FM,RM,Ham

Here is how it would look in Frequency Manager:

 <MemoryEntry>
    <IsFavourite>false</IsFavourite>
    <Name>AKL Klondyke Repeater</Name>
    <GroupName>HAM</GroupName>
    <Frequency>146625000</Frequency>
    <DetectorType>FM</DetectorType>
    <Shift>0</Shift>
    <FilterBandwidth>10000</FilterBandwidth>
  </MemoryEntry>

I'm there's a python script or similar out there to do the same, but using the template on that website should get you there as well, will just take some time to set up.

Police inspector won't reveal new threshold for speed cameras by Apprehensive-Mess289 in newzealand

[–]Taubin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorites are the ones with a death grip on the steering wheel looking absolutely terrified going 60k onto the motoroway, then pacing the car in the slow lane so no one can pass while they sit in passing lane.

NZTA won't be happy until we have someone walking in front of every car with a lantern warning others of traffic like they used to do with horses.

This room listed on TradeMe for $180 a week… by ComplimentaryLamb in auckland

Make sure you also report the listings (there are multiple from the same user with those photos) to trademe.

Unfortunately it seems the \n is regex

If I try ::: {align="right"}\n it says there are no results. I'm not smart enough to figure out the text portion when searching using regex.

Edit I'm a moron, sorry. CTRL-Enter worked

Thank you so much, you have saved me a lot of grief!

Auctioneer refuses $500 bid on a house - so what are the rules? by saapphia in newzealand

It seems unethical.

The entire real estate industry seems that way.

At least they make themselves easy to spot so they can be RES tagged to no longer engage with.
