[amsat-bb] Re: CP6 Decoding

[Colin Hurst]

Jim,
Mike DK3WN and I have done some work evaluating CP6 Decoding.
Like you we have difficulty decoding CP6 with hardware TNC's.
Best performance is to use MixW, with audio from the data port.
We have passed this information to the CP6 Team who are investigating the
TNC Header that CP6 sends.
It is also important that you tune the lower tone to 1200 Hertz.
In my case I use Spectran to monitor the audio.
I will forward you a small .wav file separately that has two good
decodeable bursts that you can use to evaluate your system.
Best regards,
Colin VK5HI.
