Is the EAS modem encode/decode and fully functional in "dev" branch?

[guitarpicva]

I have been streaming UDP data from GQRX or SDR++ into direwolf to try and decode the EAS Codec which is sent by the minimodem application from Kamal Mustaffa.

Has EAS been fully tested for rx and tx as currently implemented in the dev branch? So far, direwolf gives no indication that it hears the data coming in. It DOES show that it is set up for the Codec upon startup. I have verified with wireshark that the samples are on UDP:localhost:7355.

Direwolf seems to bind directly to port 7355 also which seems odd to me. (Maybe I am just used to using multicast).

direwolf decodes National Weather Service EAS SAME signals fine, A couple other people have mentioned success.
It does not transmit EAS SAME because there is no real need and the capability could be abused.
I've never tried using minimodem so I have no idea whether it is generating valid EAS SAME signals.

Did you read the documentation here?

[guitarpicva]

Actually, there is a need. We are testing SAME as a national alerting format and use of the same codec only makes sense.

The "magic" is not the waveform since it's just an odd RTTY. The format and timing of SAME messages used by NWS is how that whole system works. It's all fully documented in public.

[wb2osz]

Yes, I know that the format is publicly documented. That is how I was able to write a decoder.

Tell me more about your need to transmit it.

It shouldn't be hard. But, what would the benefit be to the community?

Direwolf is not parsing EAS data correctly. It is not inserting the closing curly bracket.

Could you provide more detail?

[wb2osz]

This uses the user-defined APRS packet format.

Data Type Indicator of { means user defined.
D is for direwolf application
E is for EAS data.
The EAS sentence is:

ZCZC-EAS-RWT-012057-012081-012101-012103-012115+0030-2780415-WTSP/TV-
