[comp.sys.acorn] Looking for RTY translator for BBC B

woody@udcf.glasgow.ac.uk (Ian Woodrow) (05/20/91)

Can anyone out there tell me if there is software which will run on a BBC B
to convert rtty transmissions into plain readable text ?

You know;  bleeps from shortwave set -> back of BBC -> (software) -> screen.

Also, are there any anonymous-ftp sites around that store BBC software ?

Cheers,

Try the University of Surrey. They have a large program base already written
to deal with their UOSAT sattellites and the conversion programs are also there.
We had a demonstration of some of their software at a User Group night and it
is quite impressive.

Several years ago I wrote a program to convert rtty pulses into readable
text. It requires a demodulator to convert the rtty tones into
0/5V pulses, which are then fed to the userport.

If you are interrested, I can mail it to you. If there is general interest
i will post it to this group.
