I have a chance to buy a Universal M-8000 decoder from a friend for $100. Is it worth it, or do todays digital software blow it out of the water? (DM 780, MultiPsk, etc?) I am a SWL who has a NRD-535D hooked into a RF Systems DX-One and a Wellbrook 1530 loop, and I just got started with digital modes. I presently use DM 780, MultiPsk, FLdigi. >From looking at the info, it looks like the M-8000 has a lot of modes that are >not used anymore according to the spec sheets. I am a new member of this group, and am trying to learn all I can about digital modes. I live in Southern Indiana, and my main interests are Maritime listening and trying to decode digital signals. Thanks for any input you might have.
