There are many ways to do a data slicer.  In one of the receivers of the
system I mentioned earlier, I fed the analog output of the two receivers
directly into a dsPIC and did everything from there on in firmware.  That
included the data slicing.  The dsPIC sampled sampled the analog signals at
100KHz and the manchester data rate was 10KHz.  The firmware data slicer was
faster and performed better than the all analog data slicer in the previous
model.
