Guest Darren Masters Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 HelloDarren you can probably help me here, I am setting up a radio stream of the scanner on the air2air bushfire aircraft frequency however as soon as i plug the scanner into the laptop its noisy ! Noisy like what? Feedback? That will be a soundcard issue.
Guest Darren Masters Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 It might be that the antenna is not good enough mate.
Robbo Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 It's 150 meters in the air !!!! On another note Daz I have a acars decoding program, would my scanner work? Its a UBC93XLT also what is the acars frequency? Not getting anything on 131.500
Guest Darren Masters Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 It should and it's 131.550MHz.
Guest Darren Masters Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 weird.. i am trying PDW V1.10 That is not that good ACARSD is better.
Robbo Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 I know but the laptop is locked down and i cant install anything, pdw should still work :(
Robbo Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 could it be because im not near the airport? I can hear all the approach control etc etc though.
Guest Darren Masters Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 could it be because im not near the airport?I can hear all the approach control etc etc though. No it should work. Make sure you have line-in selected as the recording source (or mic depending on how you set it up).
Robbo Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 Can only plug it into the mike jack in the front, I go into sounds and it says the mike is working, and in PDW I am not sure what setting it should be as it has earphones, discriminator, tape/rec, speaker or custom not sure where it should be
Guest Darren Masters Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Just try mucking around with the different ones until the needle is moving in the top right-hand corner.
Robbo Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 needle always moves even if its not plugged in..... in the speaker icon down in the right corner of windows has no mike option so had to go into control panel and do it there and i know the mike is working cause i record stuff in sound recorder
Robbo Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 Darren Seems to have the paging decoder worked out so I am guessing acars will now work to. I had the DB turned up to high and it was causing to much noise. I have managed to decode a heap of pagers :)

I had the DB turned up to high and it was causing to much noise. I have managed to decode a heap of pagers :) Paging seems to work ok with this program, yes. It is the ACARS it seems to have trouble with. I gave up trying to use that program to decode ACARS. I found that ACARSD, although hard to set up initially, is alot better than the other program.
Robbo Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 Just got all the stream software from Dave at liveatc. now i am waiting for our it tech to see if he will let it bypass the firewall because it is blocking it !!! Hope I can get it going, all depends if it will be allowed via the network
Guest Darren Masters Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Looking forward to seeing what you come up with mate.
Robbo Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 well it all depends on the network...... sound is crystal, i can even hear sydney tower !!!! antenna is ****** high !
Robbo Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 Daz. Something weird is going on with PDW tonight, last night it was bringing all the ambo pagers up now everything seems to be corrupted, see the image. Last night the ambos were on the data rate 512 however the **** is on 1200
Robbo Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 oops here is the image.. I should try setting it to only receive 512
Guest Darren Masters Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Try changing the audio source also mate. That should stop the bad decodes. Have your scanner volume at about 1/3 of the way and have your line-in level around the 4th line. Do a scan from 145-150MHz and see what signals you can get. Some are stronger than others. More of a chance decoding with the stronger ones.
Robbo Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 Darren it is plugged into the mike socket, have the decibel right down so it works. will put a resistoer in the cable tommorow. just weird that it worked last night without problems.
Robbo Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 The jargon comes and goes.... must be ecryption
