These layered protocols provide services +like Automatic Number Identification (ANI), status messaging, GPS location, +emergency notification, etc. Auxiliary protocols may be transmitted when the +mobile radio user keys the microphone, or in the case of GPS, they can key the +radio and transmit the GPS location without any user actions. + +How do auxiliary decoders work? Demodulated audio from a primary decoder's FM +demodulator is simultaneously routed to each of the auxiliary decoders +and the decode results are added to the Events and Messages lists, as well as +displayed in the [Now Playing](NowPlaying_V0.3.0) window. + +Auxiliary decoders are normally used with analog decoders like NBFM, LTR, +LTR-Net, and Passport. + + * [Fleetsync II](Fleetsync2) - decodes ANI, Acknowledge, Status, Paging and GPS bursts + * [LJ1200](LoJack) - decodes LoJack data bursts on 173.075 MHz in US. + * [MDC-1200](MDC1200) - decodes MDC-1200 ANI bursts. + * [Tait 1200](Tait1200) - decodes Tait CCDI protocol GPS location bursts. + +**Note:** there are a wide variety of these auxiliary service protocols that can be +easily added to SDRTrunk. If you encounter a new audio-band protocol, collect +a number of good quality sample recordings and contact the author via the +google support group for possible inclusion in the sdrtrunk application.
