Afskmodem

Über afskmodem

afskmodem ist ein leistungsfähiger Zweiwege Multichannel und Multibaud Dekoder/Enkoder für AFSK/FSK AX.25 paketbasierte Datenübertragung (Packet Radio, APRS).

• Die Kommunikation mit einem Digi bzw. iGate erfolgt im AXUDP Format
• Audioquelle bzw- ziel können jedes OSS Soundsystem, aber auch Dateien sein (auch Audiopipes).
• Für reine RX-Systeme kann afskmodem zusammen mit rtl_tcp und sdrtst auch mit gewöhnlichen USB RTL SDR-Sticks verwendet werden (z.B. RX only iGate)

Kurzübersicht der Parameter

afskmodem -h

first for all modems
 -a             abort on sounddevice error else retry to open
 -b <num>       tx dacbuffers (10) (more to avoid underruns)
 -B             bad sound driver repair, sending continuous quietness to avoid receive
                sample loss on start/stop of sound output. Use for stereo or fullduplex)
 -c <num>       maxchannels (1) (1=mono, 2=stereo)
 -D <filename>  (debug) write raw soundcard input data to file or pipe
 -D <filename>.txt  (debug) write demodulated bits as "01.." to file or pipe
 -e <num>       additional ptt hold time (if soundsystem has delay) unit=adcbuffers (1)
 -f <num>       adcrate (16000) (8000..96000)
 -h             help
 -i <filename>  kiss pipename (/dev/kiss/soundmodem)
 -k <num>       tx kiss bufs (60)
 -l <num>       adcbuffer length (256) more: lower system load but slower reaction
 -m [<mixername>:]<channel>:<left>:<right> (0..255) ossmixer (/dev/mixer)
 -o <filename>  oss devicename (/dev/dsp)
 -o <infilename,outfilename>       /dev/stdin,outpipe  (mknod outpipe p)
                 for play/rec with sox use -B as sox/alsa can only continuous sound
                 play -r 16000 -t raw -e signed-integer -c 1 -b 16 --buffer 1000 -q
                 rec -r 16000 -t raw -c 1 -b 16 -q - | afskmodem -B -f 16000 -o /dev/stdin,outpipe ...
                 make PTT with VOX as io-bits are not synchrone to sound with variable delay

  -f <num>              (0) (0=halfduplex, 1=master fullduplex, 2=all fullduplex,
                        3=simplex 'stereo never both tx same time')
