ACARSD Help

[Wings11]

Hi All..

Ive tried once before on the old forum to get Acarsd Running on my PC. but im still having no luck.

I bought the lead to connect the Scanner to the PC and ive got the software.

Im picking up nothing.

Any Help will be really appreciated as im starting to tear my hair out, lol..

Cheers Guys.

Ok, i think it has something to do with your squelch.
Take a look at the link (above) they know what's what with ACARS.
Hope that helps.

HI Cillian,

No i didnt. Another thing thats been driving me mad lately.

Im not a technophobe. I get on well with Computers knowing them quite well. But the Squawkbox and this seem to have me beaten. :confused:

Im starting to give up, but there is a part of me thats intreeged to find out what they are like.

Just for your Information, when i run the ACARSD program i start to get a Buzzing from through my speakers. and it wont stop :confused:

Thanks Cillian....

Not too sure, but that could be the squelch.
If it is, turn off the volume of your speakers and if you don't think it is, I'd say look in other places because it's a very strange problem.
Keep at squawkbox though. Well worth it in the end. Trust me ;)
