If I want to build a modern day pager - is there a scene doing this?

I just want a 8 character LCD and a cellular modem. Give it some SMSes or whatever.

I already have an SMS API I can interact with - because I'm a nerd

Paul Timmins reshared this.

there are ham enthusiast groups running POCSAG and FLEX on the 900mhz amateur band and some pagers can tune up there…

Ug - I'm going to need to get a HAM license or else I'm going to accidentally commit a crime, wont I?

pretty much, there’s a reason the population of hams is a weird mix of old guys and engineers and hackers 😅
