I just received an interesting page on my PDW that I've never seen before...
Address | Mode / Type / Bitrate | Message
??????? | FLEX-A/SECURE/1600 | (blank)
(Yes, the address actually shows as all question marks and there's nothing at all in the message column)
Never seen a "SECURE" page before? I didn't even know you could encrypt pager messages?

Re: Received an interesting page
Encrypted pages are nothing new. Though I have not seen one like that with no data following. Usually they have a bunch of letters and numbers and symbols in the message that make no sense.

Re: Received an interesting page
Just the plain old standard 148.5875 MHz RFS frequency... which makes it all the more weird? I almost never see a Flex page go over let alone a secure one?vk2fear wrote:What freq were u on

As it was the middle of the night and it's (supposed to be) the middle of summer, I think maybe I picked up some skip from somewhere and PDW didn't decode it properly or something like that?
It doesn't really worry me or anything, I just thought it was interesting as I'd never heard of anybody using enc on pagers before.
