Hello all,
I can't recall if I already posted a question on this or not but I can't find it in "My Threads" so here it goes (possibly again)
I want to use the BCD996XT to decode ACARS. While I know the baud rate is usually slow enough for straight sound card via audio out. But I am used to doing it with ACARS in a more reliable way.
So I read the BCD996XT has "technically" discriminator out via a pin on the serial line/cable and it is used primarily for control channel out for further analysis via UniTrunker etc.
My questions are:
--Is this a typical data slicer output on that port?
--Is it Discriminator out?
--If not, is there a mod I have to make physically like I did on my old radios?
--If so, where can find good detailed instructions to do so on my BCD996XT?
Thanks all for your help.
