Multimon-NG Package Description

MultimonNG a fork of multimon. It decodes the following digital transmission modes:

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

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 (for example '-v 10')
  -f <mode>  : forces POCSAG data decoding as <mode> (<mode> can be 'numeric', 'alpha' and 'skyper')
  -h         : this help
  -A         : APRS mode (TNC2 text output)
  -m         : mute SoX warnings
  -r         : call SoX in repeatable mode (e.g. random seed for dithering)
   Raw input requires one channel, 16 bit, signed integer (platform-native)
   samples at the demodulator's input sampling rate, which is
   usually 22050 kHz. Raw input is assumed and required if piped input is used.

multimon-ng Usage Example

Take raw input from rtl_fm (-t raw), add the POCSAG512, POCSAG1200, POCSAG2400, and SCOPE modules (-a POCSAG512 -a POCSAG1200 -a POCSAG2400 -a SCOPE), decode in alpha mode (-f alpha), reading from stdin (/dev/stdin):
