Thanks Gordon and others.

Is there any SDR software that supports the FCDP and will demod FM properly
for 9.6K FSK ?

It should be FM, and you must pick up the signal from before the audio
filter.  You're looking for "flat unsquelched" in Motorola parlance ;-)

9600bps FSK is generated by modulating the carrier frequency with the
digital bitstream directly, after passing it through a filter to round the
corners off so it doesn't splatter.  As such, the frequency response needs
to be flat from DC to whatever the passband of the IF filter is.
