ext/pocsag/settings.txt doesn't work

[SkyldaHelvig]

As the topic says.

Creating the file, has no change to default frequency.
However, if I go to hopping within the Pocsag app, the frequency I chose clearly shows up in screenshot among others
that should be commented out, except DAPNET and my local one.

So far no decode (verified against my SDR decoder). It is a local, highly used (Fire/EMS Frequency) Pocsag frequency.

I am working with 453600000 so little out of bounds but should be able to get there with attenuation.

I was having some issues with settings.txt as well. I got it working with the following.

# to use manual settings and prevent them from being deleted on upgrade, rename *_user.example files to *_user

Filetype: Flipper SubGhz Setting File
Version: 1

# Add Standard frequencies for your region
Add_standard_frequencies: true

# Default Frequency: used as default for "Read" and "Read Raw"
Default_frequency: 460600000

# Frequencies used for "Read", "Read Raw" and "Frequency Analyzer"
Frequency: 460600000
Frequency: 439987500

# Frequencies used for hopping mode (keep this list small or flipper will miss signal)
Hopper_frequency: 460600000
Hopper_frequency: 439987500

In my testing I could only decode 1200bps channels. 512bps and 2400bps do not decode yet.

That could also be my issue currently. I believe county emcomm is using 2400 bayd iirc.

I'll have to setup PDW again to double check.

I wish I knew how to put decoding into file form to help more, 911 pocsag is very active in my area, recording is no issue.

did you get it to work? no matter what i try I'm stuck with the default settings file. this is my current settings file under /ext/pocsag/settings.txt

I did after trying the XFW firmware. It worked out the box with my settings file including dapnet and my local emcomm system frequency sets.

Emcomm system here uses 2400b so no decodes as author stated it's not able to at the moment. Dapnet test worked flawless however.

Thanks for this. I couldn't get it to work using the sample either, but your format worked OK.

I was annoyed and for multiple months pissed off by this settings file, until I found out there is a hard cut somewhere around 465MHz. It simply ignores entries it does not like. There is no error, no warning. I was trying to enter the local 466.075MHz for pocsag, Which is just barely outside the range.

Edit: It's in the flippers documentation.
https://docs.flipper.net/sub-ghz/frequencies

Flipper Zero’s sub-1 GHz module is capable of receiving signals at all frequencies in the 300-348 MHz, 387-464 MHz, and 779-928 MHz operational bands. However, Flipper Zero transmits signals only at frequencies that are allowed for civilian use.

So the cutoff is even at 464 MHz.
