+AMPS does not use a modulated tone to carry bits of information, instead it modulates the radio carrier directly.

+Generally a receiver will do de-emphasis and filtering after demodulating the signal.
+We don't want that.
+It may work, but be sure to use a receiver with discriminator output.
+This output gives direct signal of the frequency deviation of the received signal.
+The signal on the sound card represents the frequency shift of the received signal.
+Many receivers can be modified, so search the Web for more info.

+In my case, my sound card is connected to a transmitter, where a positive sample value causes a negative frequency deviation.
+This is why I need to flip the polarity of the signal, so I generate a negative sample value that causes a positive frequency deviation.
+I use the '-f yes' option or '--flip-polarity yes'.
+Also it is essential to use a transmitter with direct access to the modulator and and a receiver with direct access to the disciminator.
+I use '-p -d' or '--pre-emphasis --de-emphasis' to process emphasis for audio signal in software.
+I use the calling channel (control channel) 334, which could also be used as traffic channel (voice channel).
