Hi folks,
I've repurposed an old BCD250 and added a disc tap for use with DSD. I did it based on the instructions at discriminator.nl. As such, the headphone signal is available between the tip and ground. The discriminator output is available between the middle ring and ground. Obviously, if I fully insert the one end into the scanner and the other end into the laptop, it's not going to work because the non-tap audio is being delivered as well (screwing up the decode). I know the tap is properly installed because if I pull the patch cord half way out of the headphone jack on the scanner, I can get Unitrunker and DSD to work just fine. My question is how do I get just the tap data into the laptop. Would using a splitter into separate L-R channels) work if I then only put the left channel into the mic jack of the laptop??
Thanks,
