ATEST(1)		    General Commands Manual		      ATEST(1)

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  per-
       formance	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  Mes-
		     sage 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
	      (default)	= 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+
	      (default 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 per-
	      formance.
