Best Decoding Algorithms

The decoding algorithms and digital filtering used at Microlog are the best in the business. These are pre-DSP, so it was all machine code processing in real time. Even though it was running at the snails pace clock of a couple Mhz, they were very effective in copying both RTTY and hand sent CW. The only down side is that they're not produced any more and that they only fit the obsolete Commodore C-64 computer. I have run side by side comparisons with just about every competitor at the time and can state that the little AIR-1 will outperform them all. It's performance is all due to the programming ability of the guys at Microlog who wrote the operating code. (They conversed in machine code! It was erie to listen in on their conversation. " Lets JSR to SUB1 and EXC the PIA". ???) I guess with all the new digital modes, Clover, PSK-31, etc. The AIR-1 could be considered and antique, but if you've got an old "64" laying around, this is a perfect use for it.
