Missing messages

Post by cjl_72 »

When monitoring messages with pdw on 148.6375 and 148.5625 i seem to miss the occasional message completely (mostly on .6375)... i have another source and they appear there but miss mine... am getting "100% decode" but still missing some.. any ideas?. Thank you

Anyone had this happen or possibly know the cause?

Have you got a setting selected somewhere to ignore certain message types? I have filters set to reject "12 minute network heartbeat" messages and other annoying msgs. Check the capcodes of missing msgs and see if they are filtered etc

I used to have the same problem that Smythie has described.

I used to think I was missing messages as well. I would see the needle in PDW go all the way to the right and the decode percentage remained at 100%, but no messages would come up.

I soon realised that I wasn't 'missing' any messages, but PDW was filtering out all of the messages that were being sent across a rejected address.
