.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBatest\fR is a test application which decodes AX.25 frames from an audio recording.  This provides an easy way to test Dire Wolf decoding performance much quicker than normal real-time. 



.SH OPTIONS

.TP
.BI  "-B " "n"
Bits / second for data.  Proper modem selected for 300, 1200, 9600.
300 baud uses 1600/1800 Hz AFSK.
1200 (default) baud uses 1200/2200 Hz AFSK.
9600 baud uses K9NG/G2RUH standard.

.TP
.BI  "-D " "n"
Divide audio sample rate by n.

.TP
.BI  "-F " "n"
Amount of effort to try fixing frames with an invalid CRC.
0 (default) = consider only correct frames.
1 = Try to fix only a single bit.
more = Try modifying more bits to get a good CRC.

.TP
.BI  "-P " "m"
Select the demodulator type such as A, B, C, D (default for 300 baud), E (default for 1200 baud), F, A+, B+, C+, D+, E+, F+.
