atest - Decode AX.25 frames from an audio file.
Contents
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.
Examples
gen_packets-otest1.wavatesttest1.wavgen_packets-B300-otest3.wavatest-B300test3.wavgen_packets-B9600-otest9.wavatest-B9600test9.wav
This generates and decodes 3 test files with 1200, 300, and 9600 bits per second.

Try different combinations of options to compare decoding performance.
Name
atest - Decode AX.25 frames from an audio file.
Options
-Bn 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.
AIS for ship Automatic Identification System.
EAS for Emergency Alert System (EAS) Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME).
-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.
-Dn Divide audio sample rate by n.
-h Print frame contents as hexadecimal bytes.
-Fn 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.
-Pm Select the demodulator type such as D (default for 300 bps), E+ (default for 1200 bps), PQRS for
2400 bps, etc.
