NAME
     atest - Decode AX.25 frames from an audio file.

SYNOPSIS
     atest [ options ] wav-file-in

	    wav-file-in is a WAV format audio file.

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  perfor-
     mance much quicker than normal real-time.

OPTIONS
     -B n   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.

     -D n   Divide audio sample rate by n.

     -h     Print frame contents as hexadecimal bytes.

     -F n   Amount  of	effort to try fixing frames with an invalid CRC.  0 (de-
	    fault) = 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.

     -P m   Select the demodulator type such as D (default for 300 bps), E+ (de-
	    fault for 1200 bps), PQRS for 2400 bps, etc.

EXAMPLES
     gen_packets -o test1.wav
     atest test1.wav

     gen_packets -B 300 -o test3.wav
     atest -B 300 test3.wav

     gen_packets -B 9600 -o test9.wav
     atest -B 9600 test9.wav

	    This generates and decodes 3 test files with  1200,  300,  and  9600
	    bits per second.

     atest 02_Track_2.wav
     atest -P E- 02_Track_2.wav
     atest -F 1 02_Track_2.wav
     atest -P E- -F 1 02_Track_2.wav

	    Try  different  combinations  of options to compare decoding perfor-
	    mance.
