I'm wondering if anyone with more technical knowledge with me knows if it would be possible to decode ELT data bursts using a computer sound card. The specs say it is a phase modulated signal. Specs are at
http://www.cospas-sarsat.org/DocumentsTSeries/t1Oct03.pdfIs this the same as BPSK modulation? If not, could it be decoded with a simple sound card interface or would a modified receiver be needed? Just wondering if this is a feasible project to consider embarking on or if it's too complicated. I think a program that decodes these transmissions could be extremely useful for SAR agencies. Any comments would be great.
Thanks!
