The main disadvantage of Skimmer is that using it in a contest puts you in an Assisted category while a basic decoder doesn't.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984840704237681015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953397841255562532.post-64966138864473223582012-11-21T11:07:00.515+00:002012-11-21T11:07:00.515+00:00I've built a PIC based decoder and found its o...I've built a PIC based decoder and found its only really good with signals >55. Similarly phone based ones are the same. Both were a bit of a disappointment in those terms. The weaker signals can be picked out by ear but not it seems by either the PIC or the software.<br /><br />I've never used MRP40 and used skimmer many moons ago and that was excellent. <br /><br />I am surprised that there isn't more software of that calibre (or am I missing something?)Alex Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985363196485318644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953397841255562532.post-33221572601034396702012-11-21T06:20:34.382+00:002012-11-21T06:20:34.382+00:00Ji Julian, I know you like MRP40.

Great software. 73 PaulPaul Stam PAØKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472039726489965017noreply@blogger.com
