## Features & Benefits ##
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Lower cost, higher performance alternative to hardware TNC.
|
![](direwolf-block-diagram.png)
|
||||||
Decodes more than 1000 error-free frames from [WA8LMF TNC Test CD](http://wa8lmf.net/TNCtest/).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Ideal for building a Raspberry Pi digipeater & IGate.
|
### Dire Wolf includes: ###
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Data rates: 300 AFSK, 1200 AFSK, 2400 QPSK, 4800 8PSK, and 9600/19200/38400 bps K9NG/G3RUH.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Interface with applications by
|
|
||||||
- [AGW](http://uz7.ho.ua/includes/agwpeapi.htm) network protocol
|
|
||||||
- [KISS](http://www.ax25.net/kiss.aspx) serial port
|
|
||||||
- [KISS](http://www.ax25.net/kiss.aspx) TCP network protocol
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Decoding of received information for troubleshooting.
|
- **Beaconing, Tracker, Telemetry Toolkit.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Conversion from APRS to waypoint sentences in popular formats: $GPWPL, $PGRMW, $PMGNWPL, $PKWDWPL.
|
Send periodic beacons to provide information to others. For tracking the location is provided by a GPS receiver.
|
||||||
|
Build your own telemetry applications with the toolkit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Logging and conversion to GPX file format.
|
- **APRStt Gateway.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Beaconing for yourself or other nearby entities.
|
Very few hams have portable equipment for APRS but nearly everyone has a handheld radio that can send DTMF tones. APRStt allows a user, equipped with only DTMF (commonly known as Touch Tone) generation capability, to enter information into the global APRS data network. Responses can be sent by Morse Code or synthesized speech.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Very flexible Digipeating with routing and filtering between up to 6 ports.
|
- **Digipeaters for APRS and traditional Packet Radio.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- APRStt gateway - converts touch tone sequences to APRS objects and voice responses.
|
Extend the range of other stations by re-transmitting their signals. Unmatched flexibility for cross band repeating and filtering to limit what is retransmitted.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- APRS Internet Gateway (IGate) with IPv6 support and special SATGate mode.
|
- **Internet Gateway (IGate).**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- APRS Telemetry Toolkit.
|
IGate stations allow communication between disjoint radio networks by allowing some content to flow between them over the Internet.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Compatible with software defined radios (SDR) such as [gqrx](http://gqrx.dk/), [rtl_fm](http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr), and SDR#.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Includes separate raw packet decoder, decode_aprs.
|
- **AX.25 v2.2 Link Layer.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- AX.25 v2.2 connected mode. (New in version 1.4.)
|
Traditional connected mode packet radio where the TNC automatically retries transmissions and delivers data in the right order.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **KISS Interface (TCP/IP, serial port, Bluetooth) & AGW network Interface (TCP/IP).**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Dire Wolf can be used as a virtual TNC for applications such as APRSIS32, UI-View32, Xastir, APRS-TW,YAAC, UISS, Linux AX25, SARTrack, RMS Express, Outpost PM, and many others.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Radio Interfaces: ###
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Uses computer’s “soundcard” and digital signal processing.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Lower cost and better performance than specialized hardware. Decodes more than 1000 error-free frames from [WA8LMF TNC Test CD](http://wa8lmf.net/TNCtest/).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Standard 300, 1200 & 9600 bps modems and more.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **DTMF (“Touch Tone”) Decoding and Encoding.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Speech Synthesizer & Morse code generator.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Transmit human understandable messages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Compatible with Software Defined Radios such as gqrx, rtl_fm, and SDR#.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Concurrent operation with up to 3 soundcards and 6 radios.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Portable & Open Source: ###
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Runs on Windows, Linux (PC/laptop, Raspberry Pi, etc.), Mac OSX.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Open source so you can see how it works and make your own modifications.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Runs in 3 different environments:
|
|
||||||
- Microsoft Windows XP or later
|
|
||||||
- Linux, regular PC/laptop or single board computer such as Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, cubieboard 2, or C.H.I.P.
|
|
||||||
- Mac OS X
