Hi Michael,

Have been using the Airnav ACARS decoder and Airnav 3.1 for some time and
have
not had any problem with them except that they will not run on Windows XP

There are instructions for using the decoder with Airnav on their web page
quote
AirNav ACARS Decoder is Compatible with AirNav 3.1.
1- Open AirNav 3.1 ACARS Realtime Interface.
2- Click 'Source Data' Menu
3- Click 'Live Data from Other Decoder'
4- Select AirNav ACARS Decoder Log File in this program \data folder.

This certainly works with the registered version.

I know it has been difficult to contact the program writer for some
time, someone said he was moving to Florida from his native Portugal.

I have Wacars, Airnav ACARS decoder and Sky-spy here. On testing
using same aerial, same receiver etc the Airnav gave more decodes
than Sky-spy, however all the Sky-spy ones are perfect as it only
accepts decodes without errors. The Airnav decoder allows more slightly
garbled decodes through, but as you can still read many of these, I
think it is the better option.
