Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for decoding both radio facsimile and radio teletype broadcast signals. A zero crossing detector detects zero crossings of the broadcast signal and generates a pulse with each zero crossing. A time interval is determined between the detected zero crossings. The determined time interval is compared with a plurality of predetermined threshold values for generating a first decoded signal. The first decoded signal is utilized for generating a print signal. The print signal is applied to a conventional printer for generating both the facsimile chart and teletype message.
