    If any law enforcement officer shoots a law-abiding citizen between
the eyes simply because he placed his hand in his coat, the courts of
N.C. should prosecute that officer to the fullest extent of the law.
Think about what you are saying.  You imply that simple possession of a
firearm indicates criminal intent.  Don't think it works this way.
Armed law-abiding citizens are no threat to law enforcement, in N.C. or
any other state of the Union.

  I've been playing around with a simple FAX-RTTY-AMTOR-NAVTEX computer
interface. I've had good luck with receiving faxes, and I've gotten
mixed results with AMTOR and NAVTEX tranmissions (CW is almost a
complete washout).
  I realize that many of the RTTY stations are now transmitting
encrypted messages.  I've only had success in decoding the Halifax RTTY
transmissions.  Surely there MUST be a couple more stations
broadcasting in the clear out there; I just can't find them.   So, if
any of you have any favorite RTTY stations that I might be able to
decode here at Random Access Acres, I would certainly appreciate some
enlightenment.  The gobbledeygook I currently end up with is pretty
frustrating.   Thanks!

Hi Phillipe,
Sorry, nothing concrete ...
But the task of baudot converion is very simple - use an arrays of 32
elements, the index will be the 5 bit baudot, the contents will be the
ASCII-Code.
More important should be to search for code for FFT and handling the SB.
Perhaps you might also check the source of PKTMON - yep, no SB and no
baudot, but its pascal and should give you a good start about FFT, timing
of signal and so on ...
Good luck - Achim

assistant: Hi,
I built and am using the hamcom ver 3.0 decoder. It works great and
I have increased its usefulness by adding a DSP processing unit for
audio conditioning. My question is this, is there a more recent version
of Hamcom software out there?
Thanks and happy rttying...
