Most ticker stuff was feed via geo satellitte or fm broadcast band S.C.A. (subsidarary carrier authorization) there are four sca freqs that are on channel in band fm mono data or audio services. ibm and others used sca or sat for ticker and other audio/data services. i have a clearlink plus sat modem that did two way sat link for upi or aps. it's a ku band tranciever but i did not get the orignal dish with it. it still works - you can used a standard ku band feed horn for recieve. most of the sca fm suff is off the air. the rcvrs for sca and sat are eather one way (sca) or two way(sat) addressable. thats how they controled the subscription and auth'ed users.

If you need copies of the software, *assuming* the software I have is good, it won't be a problem. I can bring it to TRW late this month. Anyone know what frequency this works on, and if the supporting transmitter is still on the air? It indicated this was a subscription service, and I would be most interested to know how they enforced that.
