Hi Ricky,

I never got the Acars decoder to work under WindowsXP, however under Windows
98
it was a far better decoder than any of the others. I tested it by
connecting
the same receiver via the soundcard to the Airnav decoder and via a
Pervisell
demodulator to Skyspy and got about 20 pct more decodes on the Airnav
decoder
over a period of about a week (some 9,000 decodes).

One reason for this is that the Airnav decoder does allow decodes which
contain
a few minor faults whereas Skyspy does not.
