G'day Craig, Well your guidance worked very well. All I had to do was connect the computer internal sound card to my SW radio earphone output, download two pieces of software: Weatherfax 2000 and Comm32; and after an afternoon of tuning the audio signal its working remarkably well. I had to use SSB as the signal was far to weak for AM FSK and with SSB neither piece of software was adequate by itself but by using the Comms 32 spectrum analysiser and the Weatherfax decoder I'm getting quite readable albeit slanted fax displays of synoptic charts etc. Lots of improvements left to do ie getting rid of the slant and improving signal to noise and I'm sure an external demodulator will be a much better option than the sound card but its all looking very promising at 10 minutes a download plus ten minutes for preliminary tuning and probably ten minutes setup of aerials in the bush! Thanks again and all the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
