My APRS station is up 24/7 in my shack with a Linux computer connected to a TNC to a radio. I have a USB sound dongle connected to another USB port on the computer I use for things like copying ISS SSTV pictures. I'd like to use that to also monitor other packet frequencies for things like WinLink and BBS traffic. That leads to some questions.
Will yaac display non-APRS data (WinLink, packet, BBS, etc.) in the Raw Packet Sniffer window?
What software would I use for this? I have used AX25 Listen to watch packets from the command line. I have also played with Direwolf a bit.
What kind of port would I configure for this? I don't see AX25 or Direwolf options. The only software modem I can identify on the Port Type list is AGWPE, which is Windows only and won't work here.
Is this feasible within yaac? Or should I use some other viewer type application? Any suggestions on what that application would be? I'm looking for something that would be a small window on the screen (like the Raw Packet Sniffer), not a CLI thing, preferably with a way to save the received packet list.
Thanks.
