[ACARS] Specs for freeware?

Tue, 25 Mar 2003 23:53:21 +0000

My name is Reinhart Lemke. I'am living in Germany in the northern part 
of Bavaria.

What Linux-distribution are you using? I do have a SuSE-System 8.1 on a 
Pentium II 333 MHz. Soundcard is a Creative Soundblaster PCI64.

My receiver is a JRC NRD-525G with RS-232 and VHF/UHF-Converter for 
airband 114-174 MHz.

Antennas: ARA 30 from Dressler for HF-reception and  a groundplane for 
VHF/UHF.

What do you think of a combination of ACARS, HFDL and computer-control 
of the receiver for first: automatic time related scheduling of 
frequencies and second: an activity-dependent scan of known frequencies?

I'am no programmer, but I'am with Linux since 1994, and could in this 
case do a job as tester of your software.

Thank you for your engagement

R. Lemke
