[PCR-1000] Any Recommendations for Decoding Setup or Software

Mon, 7 Jan 2002 22:57:07 -0500

I use a Belkin USB to 9 Pin Serial to connect the PCR1000
To the laptop. I use the single comport for a Hoka Code3Gold.

This setup works great. I use the packet/discriminator out for the VHF
decoding stuff. I use the line out to the Hoka with an adjustable
attenuator
switch in between for the HF stuff. Before I added the adjustable
attenuator
I wasn't able to decode much.

Subject: [PCR-1000] Any Recommendations for Decoding Setup or Software

I am trying to use my PCR-1000 in combination with a software decoder
for
RTTY/WEFAX/etc., but the best all-around (Radio Raft - which
automatically
detects the type of signal. speed. etc.) requires an RS232 connection -
it
doesn't use a sound card for input. Since my laptop has only one 232
port,
which is used by the PCR1000, am I out of luck, or can I "split" this
port,
or use a USB port converter? I would appreciate recommendations for a
good
setup from anyone with experience. Also any recommendations on decoding
software (HamComm, etc.). Thanks!
