Hello:

Have a 780.

Have never played with this, so would appreciate some help, very much.
Still consider myself a newbie with the 780, and scanning in general.

I wish to decode some aero acars messages with my PC.
Therefore, I have to set my 780 to 131.550 AM and feed the output into
the Line-In on my PC's soundcard.

Not sure what to grab from the radio to do this.

Should I use the Ext Speaker jack, or the Tape Out ? Or,... ?

BTW:

What are the differences in output volt levels, etc. for the two ?

Anyone try scanning a few (e.g., 6) acars freq's., and rely on the Squelch
being fast enough to grab the full message if one does appear on on of these
scanned channels ?

Thanks,
B.


Have a look here for the mod to make tape output independent of volume
control
