.TH GEN_PACKETS 1
|
|
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
gen_packets \- Generate audio file for AX.25 frames.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B gen_packets -o
|
|
.I wav-file-out
|
|
[ \fIoptions\fR ] [ \fItext-file\fR | - ]
|
|
.RS
|
|
.P
|
|
\fIwav-file-out\fR is the result. The -o option is required.
|
|
.P
|
|
\fItext-file\fR may contain AX.25 packets in the standard monitoring format. Use "-" to read from stdin. If not specified, a default builtin message will be used.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBgen_packets\fR is a test application which converts text to AX.25 audio for testing packet decoders.
|
|
|
|
It is very flexible allowing a wide range of audio sample rates, data speeds, and AFSK tones. It will even generate the scrambled signals commonly used for 9600 baud operation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "-a " "n"
|
|
Signal amplitude in range of 0 - 200%. Default 50. Note that 100% is corresponds to signal peaks of +/- 16383 so we have plenty of headroom to avoid saturation.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "-b " "n"
|
|
Bits / second for data. Default is 1200.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "-B " "n"
|
|
Bits / second for data. Proper modem selected for 300, 1200, 9600.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "-g"
|
|
Scrambled baseband rather than AFSK.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "-m " "n"
|
|
Mark frequency. Default is 1200.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "-s " "n"
|
|
Space frequency. Default is 2200.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "-r " "n"
|
|
Audio sample Rate. Default is 44100.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "-n " "n"
|
|
Generate specified number of frames with increasing noise. (For built-in message only.)
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "-o " "file"
|
|
Send output to .wav file.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B "-8"
|
|
8 bit audio rather than 16.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B "-2"
|
|
2 channels of audio rather than 1.
|
|
|

.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
.P
|
|
.B gen_packets -o x.wav
|
|
.P
|
|
.RS
|
|
With all defaults, a built-in test message is generated
|
|
with standard Bell 202 tones used for packet radio on ordinary
|
|
VHF FM transceivers.

|
|
.B gen_packets -o x.wav -B 9600
|
|
.P
|
|
.RS
|
|
Both of these are equivalent. "-B 9600" automatically selects scrambled baseband rather than AFSK.

Both of these generate 200 Hz shift, 300 baud, suitable for HF SSB transceiver.
