SYNOPSIS

11       direwolf [ options ] [ - | udp:9999 ]
12
13       The first audio channel can be streamed thru stdin or a UDP port.  This
14       is typically used with an SDR receiver.

DESCRIPTION

19       direwolf  is a software "soundcard" modem/TNC and APRS encoder/decoder.
20       It  can  be used stand-alone to receive APRS messages, as a digipeater,
21       APRStt gateway, or Internet Gateway (IGate).  It can also be used as  a
22       virtual TNC for other applications such as APRSIS32, UI-View32, Xastir,
23       APRS-TW, YAAC, UISS, Linux AX25, SARTrack, RMS Express, and  many  oth‐
24       ers.

74                     h = Hamlib verbose level.  Repeat for more.
75
76
77       -q x   Quiet (suppress output). Specify one or more of the following in
78              place of x.
79                     h = Heard line with the audio level.

EXAMPLES

103       gqrx (2.3 and later) has the ability to send streaming audio through  a
104       UDP socket to another application for further processing.  direwolf can
105       listen over a UDP port with options like this:
106
107              direwolf -n 1 -r 48000 -b 16 udp:7355
108
109       Other SDR applications might produce audio on stdout so  it  is  conve‐
110       nient  to  pipe  into the next application.  In this example, the final
111       "-" means read from stdin.
