multimon-ng

The successor to multimon, with support for more modes and improved compatibility with moderns systems. It decodes the following digital transmission modes commonly found on VHF/UHF bands:

POCSAG512 POCSAG1200 POCSAG2400 FLEX EAS UFSK1200 CLIPFSK AFSK1200 AFSK2400 AFSK2400_2 AFSK2400_3 HAPN4800 FSK9600 DTMF ZVEI1 ZVEI2 ZVEI3 DZVEI PZVEI EEA EIA CCIR MORSE CW X10

Multiple decoders can run concurrently on the same signal, which is provided via a file or a pipe. Common setups are: a radio connected via a sound card (may require modifications to the radio); samples provided via a GNU Radio sink or the UDP audio stream in gqrx (via netcat and sox).

Usage: multimon-ng [file] [file] [file] ...
  If no [file] is given, input will be read from your default sound
  hardware. A filename of "-" denotes standard input.
  -t <type>  : Input file type (any other type than raw requires sox)
  -a <demod> : Add demodulator
  -s <demod> : Subtract demodulator
  -c         : Remove all demodulators (must be added with -a <demod>)
  -q         : Quiet
  -v <level> : Level of verbosity (e.g. '-v 3')
               For POCSAG and MORSE_CW '-v1' prints decoding statistics.
  -h         : This help
  -A         : APRS mode (TNC2 text output)
  -m         : Mute SoX warnings
  -r         : Call SoX in repeatable mode (e.g. fixed random seed for dithering)
  -n         : Don't flush stdout, increases performance.
  -j         : FMS: Just output hex data and CRC, no parsing.
  -e         : POCSAG: Hide empty messages.
  -u         : POCSAG: Heuristically prune unlikely decodes.
  -i         : POCSAG: Inverts the input samples. Try this if decoding fails.
  -p         : POCSAG: Show partially received messages.
  -f <mode>  : POCSAG: Overrides standards and forces decoding of data as <mode>
                       (<mode> can be 'numeric', 'alpha', 'skyper' or 'auto')
  -b <level> : POCSAG: BCH bit error correction level. Set 0 to disable, default is 2.
                       Lower levels increase performance and lower false positives.
  -C <cs>    : POCSAG: Set Charset.
  -o         : CW: Set threshold for dit detection (default: 500)
  -d         : CW: Dit length in ms (default: 50)
  -g         : CW: Gap length in ms (default: 50)
  -x         : CW: Disable auto threshold detection
  -y         : CW: Disable auto timing detection
  --timestamp: Add a time stamp in front of every printed line
  --label    : Add a label to the front of every printed line
   Raw input requires one channel, 16 bit, signed integer (platform-native)
   samples at the demodulator's input sampling rate, which is
   usually 22050 Hz. Raw input is assumed and required if piped input is used.
