Hi, 
I am using RTL-SDR with rtl_fm and pipe my SDR dongle to multimonNG to decode pocsag. It's working well on my pi4. 

Now I am trying to do the same with my old Funcube Dongle Pro. I have installed SopySDR with SoapyFCDPP plugin. I find the device. I have installed rx_tools. And now I am trying to pipe it with rx_fm to multimon-ng. 

I am running SoapySDRUtil --find. I do find my funcube dongle. 
Found device 0
  alsa_device = hw:1,0
  device = Funcube Dongle Pro (96k)
  driver = fcdpp
  hid_path = 0001:0004:02
  is_plus = false
  period = 0

Then i run rx_fm  -f 169.800M -s 22050 -g 45 -p 1 | multimon-ng -t raw -a POCSAG1200 -f alpha /dev/stdin -C SE
multimon-ng 1.1.8

But i don't se any decoded messages. I think the my pipe is wrong. Any tip?

Its my two rtlsdr sticks in use with rtl_fm

Thanks in advance
David
