[amsat-bb] Foxtelem and FT-736R

[Chris Thompson]

Yes, it is the G3RUH mod and there is a least one site that shows you in
pictures where to solder the wire as I remember.  I did this about a year
ago when I was first testing the software.  I get great decodes from the
FT-736R this way.

Use an old headphones cable with the earbuds cutoff as the wire.  Then you
have a plug ready to connect to your soundcard!  If you have a choice use
Line In rather than Mic on the computer.

Good luck!
