What is a Data Slicer?
A slicer is a simple electronic circuit that can take base audio from a scanner (usually through it’s discriminator tap) and modulates it into a signal a computer can interpret and use through it’s serial port. Programs like Trunker use Data Slicers to monitor a trunked radio system’s control channel. Programs can also decode POCSAG and FLEX pager signals received via a data slicer and display it’s data.
