Hi,

I feel much better now someone else  is using it :)

I'm trying to 'build a better I-Gate' at the moment.  Currently its  
using the linux software modem 'soundmodem' as it allows for 9600 and  
1200 baud decoding simultaneously. At the moment I need to replace  
the 'interface' (with transformers) with a straight audio cable into  
the soundcard.

I was looking at settings last night but I was unable to figure out  
if any of the demodulators support AO-16.  It anyone knows any better  
please let me know.

Regards
