Senorpepr,

I used a program for Bret to decode vortex messages it was online and you simply had to copy and paste the data message into a box and hit decode. It was real easy but i lost the site somehow
would you happen to know the url
Thanks,
TIm

I believe the site above is what you are looking for. I'm not familiar with the recon decoding sites since I have my own Excel spreadsheet that I built to decode.

As for recon, still no word.
