hi
The Radio needs to be as far as possible from the Laptop but some
produce more noise than others . conect from Line in socket or what
you have on laptop to the headphone socket .set Radio to req freq
on Turn Sweulch fully off ; volume on Radio you will have to adjust for
best reception, I dont Have ACARSD set up but it should recieve
just like Airnav Turn on and away it goes . what you recieve depends
very much on location and Antenna . Short Rubber Duck on a hand
held may be of little use attach an outdoor on to it and may
get overloaded . Base Scanner and Propper Airband Ant is best
