NAME
atest - Decode AX.25 frames from an audio file.SYNOPSIS
atest [ options ] wav-file-in
wav-file-in is a WAV format audio file.
DESCRIPTION
atest is a test application which decodes AX.25 frames from an audio recording. This provides an easy way to test Dire Wolf decoding performance much quicker than normal real-time.OPTIONS
- -B n
- Data rate in bits/sec. Standard values are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600.
300 bps defaults to AFSK tones of 1600 &
1800.
1200 bps uses AFSK tones of 1200 & 2200.
2400 bps uses QPSK based on V.26 standard.
4800 bps uses 8PSK based on V.27 standard.
9600 bps and up uses K9NG/G3RUH standard.
- -g
- Force G3RUH modem regardless of data rate.
- -j
- 2400 bps QPSK compatible with Dire Wolf <= 1.5.
- -J
- 2400 bps QPSK compatible with MFJ-2400.
- -D n
- Divide audio sample rate by n.
- -h
- Print frame contents as hexadecimal bytes.
- -F n
- Amount of effort to try fixing frames with an invalid CRC. 0 (default) = consider only correct frames. 1 = Try to fix only a single bit. more = Try modifying more bits to get a good CRC.
- -L
- Error if Less than this number decoded.
- -G
- Error if Greater than this number decoded.
- -P m
- Select the demodulator type such as D (default for 300 bps), E+ (default for 1200 bps), PQRS for 2400 bps, etc.
EXAMPLES
gen_packets -o test1.wav atest test1.wav gen_packets -B 300 -o test3.wav atest -B 300 test3.wav gen_packets -B 9600 -o test9.wav atest -B 9600 test9.wavThis generates and decodes 3 test files with
1200, 300, and 9600 bits per second.
