Hi
  It might be the phase of the signal that counts.
 The Poly88 used a manchester encoding and It had
 a switch to select the right phase ( normal or inverted ). 
But wouldn't the sync mark handle getting the proper phase (i.e., the
adjustment to properly read the pulses)? Or do I misunderstand what you're
referring to by phase?
