Code300-32 Standard
Code300-32 Standard can handle up to two audio channels simultaneously, i.e. you can connect two receivers to the LIN IN input ; one on the right channel (R) and the other on the left channel (L). When running the decoder the required input channel can be select from either the control panel and from any analysis/decoding tool. All the operations can be performed simultaneously even using many tools at the same time.
A few examples :
- Left channel Baudot right channel Sitor
- Left channel MIL188-110 Serial and MIL188-141A ALE, right channel Sitor and CW
- Left channel Stanag 4285 and Phase Constellation, Right channel Baudot, Oscilloscope and Bit Analysis
- etc. etc.
Two receivers configuration
Left channel (L) for the first receiver and Right channel (R) for the second receiver
Single receiver configuration
only a single (default Left) channel will be used i.e. Left channel or the MIC input
4 Receivers configuration
Code300-32 Extended
Code300-32 Extended allows the
running of two sessions of the program at the same time. This means that with
two audio cards the system can handle up to 4 audio channels simultaneously: One
could have two receivers, one into the Right (R) channel and the other into the
Left (L) channel of the LINE IN input socket of the first audio card and the
same configuration for the second audio card.
Two receivers are connected to the first
audio card (left and right channels of the LINE IN). Two receivers are connected
to the second audio card with the same configuration.
Code300-32 Extended can run two completely independent
sessions of the same decoding mode, this unique characteristic can be utilised
on approximately 20 different modes. * note: you can also open two CW sessions also in the Standard version Second
audio card
For systems where it is used Code300-32 Extended we recommend the use of a
multichannel sound card that supports WDM Standard. M-Audio produce a 4-channel
version called DELTA 44, this card has been extensively tested, offering
excellent results.
Running the decoder, the input channel can be selected from both the control
panel and from any of the analysis/decoding tools. All the operations can be
performed simultaneously even when using many tools at the same time. A few
examples :
Audio card 2: Left channel HFDL and Right channel MIL188-110 39 Tones
Audio card 2: Left channel SKYFAX and MIL188-141A (ALE), Right channel
Coquelet 8 and CW
Audio card 2: Left channel Pactor II, Right channel Pactor II
in this way we can follow the entire traffic of two different networks.
For example, you can open two sessions of the MIL188-110 decoding mode receiving
a station with two different receivers/aerials (tuned on the same frequency)
thus utilizing space or polarisation diversity.
Or you can follow a network using the same mode on two different frequencies
exactly like having two different decoders. You can use up to 8 different
decoding modes at the same time on both channels.
In the Extended version you can open two simultaneous independent sessions of
the following modes.

Should you find any problem installing a second audio card
inside your PC or you are using a notebook, the easiest solution is to use an
external USB audio card. According to our laboratory tests the Sound Blaster
MP3+ has been found to be one of the best external audio cards. Under Windows
2000 and XP (Home or Professional), the card will be recognized as a generic USB
Audio Driver by the OS without any further need to load the drivers supplied
with the card. (MP3+ is not in anyway related to the MP3 audio standard!)
