Direwolf Command Line Options


 

Hello...

Since updating to the newest version (1.4d), ?i have been
getting telemetry error messages on decodes. ?Starting it
like this: ?[steve@localhost ~]$ direwolf -p -qd

Here is an example...


Digipeater VE1JOT-5 audio level = 33(14/13) ? [NONE] ? _||||__
[0.2] EI2GYB-3>MBX,VE1JOT-5*:Mail for: W6OAV VA3HRA KO4OP UZ7HO
[0L] KB9PVH-7>LINBPQ,VE1JOT-5,EI2GYB-7:Temp:10.4F<0x0d>Wind:SSE @ 4 mph ?<0x0d>UV: ? N/A W/m2 - Rain:0.00 in<0x0d><0x0a>

Digipeater VE1JOT-5 audio level = 31(15/14) ? [NONE] ? _||||__
[0.2] KB9PVH-7>LINBPQ,VE1JOT-5*,EI2GYB-7:Temp:10.4F<0x0d>Wind:SSE @ 4 mph ?<0x0d>UV: ? N/A W/m2 - Rain:0.00 in<0x0d><0x0a>
Error: Information part of telemetry packet must begin with "#"

VE1JOT-7 audio level = 32(14/13) ? [NONE] ? _|||||_
[0.3] VE1JOT-7>ID:NS105:VE1JOT-7 FN74pb


I am using this with LinBPQ and the data is a simple text
weather beacon from generated from my weather station
here. ?It does not seem to be creating any problems, but
i did not have the issue with the earlier version of 1.3...

73, ? --steve,kb9pvh--

p.s. ?It seems to be working fine otherwise....

Hmmm... this VE1JOT-5 station is gating non-APRS traffic which Direwolf is complaining about:

? #It didn't complain about this packet for some reason but this is not an APRS formatted packet
? [0.2] EI2GYB-3>MBX,VE1JOT-5*:Mail for: W6OAV VA3HRA KO4OP UZ7HO

Maybe Direwolf 1.4 is more strict about non-APRS formatted packets that v1.3 because of it's enhanced telemetry support.? Curious, are you using any FIX_BITS settings??? If you are, there is an option to train the bit level repairs around APRS formatted strings.? If you like to see these

Here is another one:

KB7ITU audio level = 30(15/14)?? [NONE]?? _||||||
[0.3] KB7ITU>BEACON:This is an ERC station in Rexburg, Idaho. Mailbox=KB7ITU-1
Error: Information part of telemetry packet must begin with "#"

KB7ITU-1 audio level = 30(15/14)?? [NONE]?? _||||||
[0.3] KB7ITU-1>MBX:Mail for: None

It only seems to be my station and this one..?? wonder if it has something to do with the letter T at the beginning of the data line maybe ???

Short answer:

Use of the "-qd" ?(quiet, don't decode as APRS) ?command line option will now suppress that error message.
The fix is now in the "dev" branch. ?Just ignore the error message until you get a newer version. ?It doesn't hurt anything.

Explanation:

When using APRS, the first character of the information part of the field is called the "data type indicator." ?

"T" indicates telemetry. ?In this case the following character should be "#". ?This message would be appropriate when using APRS. ?

However, it looks like you are using traditional packet radio. ?Here the UI frames (broadcasts, not to a particular station) can have any text without any formatting rules.



 

Indeed...? that makes sense.? Yes, i am using the direwolf modem
in a traditional packet enviroment.? It has been performing extremely
well on hf.?? Tnx for the explanation and fix...

Howdy David..

It is not gating aprs traffic because i am not using it on APRS here..?? Using it as a traditional packet station on Net105 for 300 baud hf with LinBPQ.? A fix was issued, which is working great as well.?? Tnx for the response though....

Packet: 14.105 (LSB)

ARDOP: 7101 (USB)
