PROGRAM:
NAME
multimon - program to decode radio transmissions
SYNOPSIS
multimon [options] [input_file]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the multimon command. This manual page was written for
the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual
page.
The multimon software can decode a variety of digital transmission modes commonly found on
UHF radio. A standard PC soundcard is used to acquire the signal from a transceiver. The
decoding is done completely in software. Currently, the following modes are supported:
* AX.25
o 1200 Baud AFSK
o 2400 Baud AFSK (2 variants)
o 4800 Baud HAPN
o 9600 Baud FSK (G3RUH)
* POCSAG
o 512 Baud
o 1200 Baud
o 2400 Baud
* Miscellaneous
o DTMF
o ZVEI
o SCOPE
An arbitrary set of the above modes may run concurrently on the same input signal
(provided the CPU power is sufficient), so you do not have to know in advance which mode
is used. Note however that some modes might require modifications to the radio (especially
the 9600 baud FSK and the POCSAG modes) to work properly.
AX.25 - Amateur Packet Radio protocol datagram format
POCSAG (Post Office Code Standards Advisory Group) is a common paging transmission format.
DTMF - Dual Tone Multi Frequency. Commonly used in in-band telephone dialing.
ZVEI- The German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association - paging tone
format.
SCOPE - show samples in a rudimentary oscilloscope display on an X server.
Multimon does not decode Morse code signals.
OPTIONS
-t <type>
input file type (any other type than raw requires sox)
allowed types: raw aiff au hcom sf voc cdr dat smp wav maud vwe
-a <demod>

HAPN4800 FSK9600 DTMF ZVEI SCOPE
The -a and -s options may be given multiple times to specify the desired list of
demodulators.
EXAMPLE
Decode signal modulations from a sound file /tmp/message.wav without using a SCOPE
display:
multimon -s SCOPE -t wav /tmp/message.wav
With no input file specified, the program listens directly to the sound card using the
/dev/dsp interface. So to decode (only) DTMF tones on the sound card input:
multimon -a DTMF
NOTICE
Please note that monitoring commercial services may be prohibited in some countries, this
software should therefore only be used to monitor the amateur radio service.
