multimon-ng a fork of multimon. It decodes the following digital transmission modes:
- 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
The following changes have been made so far:
- Fixes for x64
- Basic functionality on Mac OS X (Soundcard/OSS input is unsupported)
DUMMY_AUDIO
"backend" (Gets rid of the OSS dependency, breaks audio in doing so)ONLY_RAW
disables the format conversion while getting rid of posix dependencies- Option
NO_X11
to disable the X11 dependency - Brute-Force BCH implementation for POCSAG forward error correction
- Verbose mode is now listed in
-h
- Continued EAS/SAME development. The decoder now works, but it should be considered "alpha" quality. Do not rely on it for the reception of emergency alerts!
- Improved portability
- Compiles on Windows (MinGW or Cygwin) without format conversion
- Windows native audio
- PulseAudio support
- Accepts raw samples as piped input
- CSV output
- FLEX decoder
In addition to the deprecated legacy Makefile there is also a file for qmake which is the preferred way of building multimon-ng. It's recommended to use qmake to generate the Makefile.
mkdir build
cd build
qmake ../multimon-ng.pro
make
sudo make install
The installation prefix can be set by passing a 'PREFIX' parameter to qmake. e.g:
qmake multimon-ng.pro PREFIX=/usr/local
So far multimon-ng has been successfully built on OS X, Debian, Ubuntu, Windows and FreeBSD. (On Windows using the Qt-MinGW build environment, as well as Cygwin and VisualStudio/MSVC)
Files can be easily converted into multimon-ng's native raw format using sox. e.g:
sox -t wav pocsag_short.wav -esigned-integer -b16 -r 22050 -t raw pocsag_short.raw
GNURadio can also generate the format using the file sink in input mode short.
You can also "pipe" raw samples into multimon-ng using something like
sox -t wav pocsag_short.wav -esigned-integer -b16 -r 22050 -t raw - | ./multimon-ng -
(note the trailing dash)
qmake multimon-ng.pro PREFIX=/usr/local
make
make install INSTALL_ROOT=/
