Documentation for Dire Wolf
Essential Reading
-
This is your primary source of information about installation, operation, and configuration.
-
The Raspberry Pi has some special considerations that make it different from other generic Linux systems. Start here if using the Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone Black, cubieboard2, or similar single board computers.
Application Notes
These dive into more detail for specialized topics or typical usage scenarios.
-
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. This document explains how the APRStt concept was implemented in the Dire Wolf application.
-
This example illustrates how APRStt can be integrated with other applications such as SARTrack, APRSISCE/32, YAAC, or Xastir.
-
It's easy to build a receive-only APRS Internet Gateway (IGate) with only a Raspberry Pi and a software defined radio (RTL-SDR) dongle. Here’s how.
-
Describes scripts and methods to generate telemetry. Includes a complete example of attaching an analog to digital converter to a Raspberry Pi and transmitting a measured voltage.

A Better APRS Packet Demodulator, part 1, 1200 baud
Sometimes it's a little mystifying why an APRS / AX.25 Packet TNC will decode some signals and not others. A weak signal, buried in static, might be fine while a nice strong clean sounding signal is not decoded. Here we will take a brief look at what could cause this perplexing situation and a couple things that can be done about it.
-
A Better APRS Packet Demodulator, part 2, 9600 baud
In the first part of this series we discussed 1200 baud audio frequency shift keying (AFSK). The mismatch between FM transmitter pre-emphasis and the receiver de-emphasis will cause the amplitudes of the two tones to be different. This makes it more difficult to demodulate them accurately. 9600 baud operation is an entirely different animal. ...

WA8LMF TNC Test CD Results a.k.a. Battle of the TNCs
How can we compare how well the TNCs perform under real world conditions? The de facto standard of measurement is the number of packets decoded from WA8LMF’s TNC Test CD. Many have published the number of packets they have been able to decode from this test. Here they are, all gathered in one place, for your reading pleasure.
