ScytaleC setup problem

[Saint]

I have been trying to get ScytaleC Decoder working to decode some navtex messages and have not been able to get the software to work, could someone look at the video I made And possibly point out to me were I have gone wrong, any help appreciated.

Not NFM. USB.

Not NFM. USB.

I had it set for Digital so I will change it to USB tomorrow, I have to set everything up on my other computer in the bedroom and see if that does the trick.

On my phone last night when I tried to watch your video - the font etc were too small to see much, but I head you mentioned NFM, that will be distorting the signal. Not sure what 'digital' does in SDRuno so cant comment much there.
Here are my SDR# settings:

I find the SDR# Scytal-C plug in works great, the old or new version.

The auto tracking means it will run for months and months at a time which I need since all the data is fed to my website and I don't want to be nursing yet another feed.

I have it set with vb audio in the scytaleC decoder and am receiving packets but nothing is going to the Quick UI for scytaleC is there a setup in Quick UI I need to activate so the two programs talk to each other. I don't see any option menu

They both need to use the same port number. So on the smaller window, that takes the audio from SDRuno, make sure its port matches the UI port.
I know my screenshot is of a different program, but you can see the UDP port number. The feeder and UI numbers must match.

They are both on the same port

Thats the wrong place to check. It should be up the top. Your screenshot has scrolled down too far to see.

EDIT: Your screenshot shows the port number of the transmitter (if enabled). You need to ensure the UI receiver port is the same as the transmitter getting its input from the VB Audio driver.

If I click on tcp this comes up

Ok, that looks good.
In your video, I don't know what you are tuned to.... It does not look like an Inmarsat-C frequency.

AOR-W: 1537.70 MHz

IOR: 1537.10 MHz

AOR-E: 1541.45 MHz

POR: 1541.45 MHz

I'm on 1.539.524.000

I guess that is why you are not getting any messages then... Its not a frequency that Scytale-C can decode.

OK thanks for all your help I am decoding jaero 600 bps aircraft and one 1200 bps, I'll keep playing around with scytaleC I have tried all the frequencies I have for 4F3-98-W and 3F5 54-W and found nothing I can decode.

Happy to set up an AnyDesk screenshare with you if you want. You should be getting some messages, but do note that they take many minutes to come in. Sometimes only a few per hour.

OK I will give it a try if you have the time never heard of it before.

Just did a search on google on AnyDesk I think I will pass on that but thanks for the offer.

I did a nice long DM to you about how AnyDesk when not installed is the best and cleanest solution for remote support I have found after helping almost 100 people get up and running on satcom, ACARS and other modes.
No install, requirement for you to accept my connect request before remote session can begin etc.....
But, you have DMs blocked, so you never saw it.
Please keep posting here and asking questions and we will all keep trying to figure out whats happening and how to get you up and running.....

Thanks so much to everyone for all your help, I think I am going to take a break from trying to get it to work for a couple of days, I wish there was a list of frequencies I could just use for scytaleC Decoding, I am just seeing to many different data streams and I don't know what ones are any good for decoding. I do have jaero decoding aircraft. Frequencies that are for navtex messages are sending packets to scytaleC but nothing is happening.

I am starting to think that I am not getting a strong enough signal I watched a video running scytaleC and SDRplay rspdx and Sdruno software and I see the signal is very strong in the video compared to my signal and I have the same setup.

Here is the list of KNOWN working frequencies that SCYTALE-C can 100% decode.

AOR-W: 1537.70 MHz

IOR: 1537.10 MHz

AOR-E: 1541.45 MHz

POR: 1541.45 MHz

The are all 100% good and data streaming to my and many other websites.
