By selecting 122.5 Bd or Variable rate reception is started. Selecting the Polarity will determine normal
or inverse screen color.
In the Demodulator submenu the special function fields AM-Gain and AM-Offset are placed. Centering
of the signal deviations on the bar graph is controlled by adjusting AM-Offset. In addition maximum de-
viation is required on the bar graph. This is done by adjusting AM-Gain. It should be noted that these two
adjustments are influenced by each other.

FLEX
FLEX is another mode used for pager transmissions. It is often combined with POCSAG and GOLAY/GSC.

First, a preamble is sent, which identifies the modulation type. Next, a Frame Information Word (FIW) is
transmitted to identify the cycle and frame number. The preamble and FIW are always transmitted as
FFSK 1600 Baud. After the preamble and FIW, the message is sent with the modulation according to the
preamble.
The message block contains the information and consists of 11 blocks. Each block carries 8 words with 32
bits each. The length of a message block is always constant.
The basic modulation type FFSK, 1600 Baud can transmit one message block. With a higher modulation
type, it is possible to transmit four complete and independent message blocks. To distinguish between the
different message blocks, they are called phase A to D.
A message block contains a lot of smaller messages. 8 different message types are used with FLEX:
 Alphanumeric / Secure messages for text based messages
 Three types of numeric messages
 Binary messages
 Tone Only messages
 Instruction messages for configuring the pager devices
FM-HELL
FM-HELL is a synchronous picture telegraph system like FELDHELL. It is using a virtual matrix laid down
on the character to be transmitted. The pixels of the matrix are then sent, scanning the matrix from the
