Pisces Decoder for Android™ listens for the sound of a telemetry tag via the microphone. If a valid tag is heard, the app will display the code along with the time and signal strength. The app can be used with any audio receiver or scanner without decoding capability that can be tuned to the frequencies of telemetry tags and has CW or SSB mode. It creates a relatively inexpensive means for manual tracking of coded tags.
