Sorry, another stupid "how do I get started" thread
Sorry to ask this type of question again, but I have tried to navigate the Wiki and previous answers and am still mystified over what I need to decode non-voice utility transmissions.
I have an Icom R-75, and want to use a PC for decoding (i.e., no "box" or other control thingie in between). I can easily run an audio cable from the PC to my audio interface. Since the R-75 already has RTTY and other utility modes built in, I assume I don't need anything more "in-between."
Question is, what then do I need to decode transmissions? I'm only interested in receiving, not transmitting.
Is there one piece of Windows software that decodes RTTY, or shows images, etc. or do you need several different versions? If so, what are the most affordable (i.e., either shareware or freeware) programs out there?
Again, sorry for the redundancy, but it's not easy to understand a lot of this stuff.
