-o --osmocc-sock

Disable built-in call control and offer socket

--cc "<osmo-cc arg>" [--cc ...]

Pass arguments to Osmo-CC endpoint. Use '-cc help' for description.

--no-l16

Disable L16 (linear 16 bit) codec.

-t --tones 0 | 1

Connect call on setup/release to provide classic tones towards fixed network (default = '1')

-l --loopback <type>

Loopback test: 1 = internal | 2 = external | 3 = echo

-r --realtime <prio>

Set prio: 0 to disable, 99 for maximum (default = 0)

--fast-math

Use fast math approximation for slow CPU / ARM based systems.

--write-rx-wave <file>

Write received audio to given wave file.

--write-tx-wave <file>

Write transmitted audio to given wave file.

--read-rx-wave <file>

Replace received audio by given wave file.

--read-tx-wave <file>

Replace transmitted audio by given wave file.

--limesdr

Auto-select several required options for LimeSDR

--limesdr-mini

Auto-select several required options for LimeSDR Mini

SDR options:¶

--sdr-soapy

Force SoapySDR driver

--sdr-channel <channel #>

Give channel number for multi channel SDR device (default = 0)

--sdr-device-args <args>

--sdr-stream-args <args>

--sdr-tune-args <args>

Optional SDR device arguments, separated by comma e.g. --sdr-device-args <key>=<value>[,<key>=<value>[,...]]

--sdr-samplerate <samplerate>

Sample rate to use with SDR. By default it equals the regular sample rate.

--sdr-lo-offset <Hz>

Give frequency offset in Hz to move the local oscillator away from the target frequency. (default = -1000000)

--sdr-bandwidth <bandwidth>

Give IF filter bandwidth to use. If not, sample rate is used.

--sdr-rx-antenna <name>

SDR device's RX antenna name, use 'list' to get a list

--sdr-tx-antenna <name>

SDR device's TX antenna name, use 'list' to get a list

--sdr-clock-source <name>

SDR device's clock sourc name, use 'list' to get a list

--sdr-rx-gain <gain>

SDR device's RX gain in dB (default = 0.0)

--sdr-tx-gain <gain>

SDR device's TX gain in dB (default = 0.0)

--write-iq-rx-wave <file>

Write received IQ data to given wave file.

--write-iq-tx-wave <file>

Write transmitted IQ data to given wave file.

--read-iq-rx-wave <file>

Replace received IQ data by given wave file.

--read-iq-tx-wave <file>

Replace transmitted IQ data by given wave file.

--sdr-swap-links

Swap RX and TX frequencies for loopback tests over the air.

--sdr-timestamps 1 | 0

Use TX timestamps on UHD device. (default = 1)

Network specific options:¶

-T --tx

Transmit 5-tones on given channel, to page a receiver. (default)

-R --rx

Receive 5-tones on given channel, so we are the receiver. If none of the options -T nor -R is given, only transmitter is enabled.

-D --deviation <KHz>

Choose deviation of FM signal (default 2 KHz).

-F --funktion 0 | ruf | 1 | feuer | 2 | probe | 3 | warnung | 4 | abc

| 5 | entwarnung | 6 | katastrophe | 7 | turbo Choose default function when 5 digit only number is dialed. (default 1 = Feueralarm)

-S --scan <from> <to>

Scan through given IDs once (no repetition). This can be useful to find the call sign of a vintage receiver. Note that scanning all call signs from 000000 through 99999 would take about 8.7 days. If 'turbo' function is selected, only a single 5-tone sequence is sent per call sign. A full scan would takte about 26.4 hours then.

station_id: Give 5 or 6 digits of station ID,

so you don't need to enter it for every start of this application. Give 5 digits for 5-Ton-Folge. Give 6 digits for 5-Ton-Folge mit Ruf (0) oder Sirenenalarm (1..6).

Press digits '0'..'9' and then 'd' key to dial towards mobile station. Press 'h' key to hangup. Press 'w' key to toggle display of RX wave form. Press 'c' key to toggle display of channel status. Press 'm' key to toggle display of measurement value. Press 'q' key to toggle display of RX I/Q vector. Press 's' key to toggle display of RX spectrum. Press 'b' key to remove DC level.
