[PCR-1000] Unsquelched Discriminator Output

[N5NAY]

I am running the discriminator output thru a stereo graphic equalizer to the
line in of the sound card on the left channel.  The right channel is
connected to the pcr1k regular audio output. If I don't want to monitor the
control channel, I mute the left side.  Has anyone tried monitoring the 900
mhz systems?  I get a good strong signal, but not much over 40-50% on the
decode.  I've also noticed that I have to restart the program to make it
decode the datasteam every time I change control channels.  Otherwise, the
program has worked flawlessly for me.  Thanks again to Jay for writing a
well needed program.  This is one piece of software I will definitly
support!
I'm not real clear on whether the sound card is acting like a 2 or 4 level
decoder. 4 level would be nice. I work in the paging industry,  &  need to
monitor 4 level flex paging systems.  (Beats having to buy a 1500 Grayson
decoder!)
