Direwolf

Direwolf doesn’t want to do anything without a local config in place. I had to decompressed /usr/share/doc/direwolf/conf/direwolf.conf.gz to $HOME/direwolf.conf. I customized the configuration file:

  • set my callsign
  • listed audio devices with arecord -L, found pipewire, and set ADEVICE pipewire in the config
  • plugged the Btech APRS cable into the Quansheng and computer
  • Direwolf is decoding packet (from 145.010MHz) and APRS (144.390MHz).
  • -q d quiets APRS decode errors when reading plain packet
  • -t 0 disables the colors
  • with pipewire, I can have both my record-aprs.sh script and Direwolf decoding.
  • decoded APRS from ISS on 144.825MHz via multimon-ng:
