You cant just scan in carrier squelch mode? I suppose you could cobble up a tone detector and and wire it accross the noise squelch somehow to stop scan. But it would have to react to the data as well.

Man RFI-EMI-GUY You are good at copying and deciphering borderline readable text.

You are like a really good police dispatcher picking up a mobile unit out of the noise with a 3db Sinad or lower signal.

Me, I only copied 25% of what he was trying to say.

Is your receiver in the AM mode? APRS is FM while ACARS is AM as I recall. Also your antenna needs to be outside and away from any computer noise source.

Well it's in am and I can hear it synch but nothing decodes even put small squalch on that didn't help wow there my first hit

Looks like you got something;
To start, run the squelch wide open so not to miss any preamble. Also this might be a slow day for air traffic. You might also check the web for ACARS test files. They will be audio files with tones, you can load them in a smartphone and play them into your ipad to check settings. The levels of course will depend on your scanner audio levels.

Are you scanning while you are trying to receive an signal for ACARS the squelch will be to slow to pick up the data burst while in scanning mode.....

 

[hfflunki]

No I lock out the data the problem is I'm in a low location and using an iPad or iPhone and have to have the volume just right
