Encode pocsag messages to dump to a file. This project is designed to make it easier to understand how pocsag works, with a heavily-commented implementation.
Takes input as a series of lines, one line per message.
Message format is as follows:
address:message
where address is an integer, and message is contents to be encoded.
Adds a random delay to the output feed of 1 to 10 seconds by default. This is configurable in pocsag.c near the bottom of the file by the MIN_DELAY and MAX_DELAY defines.
pocsag reads from stdin and writes signed 16 bit little-endian samples to stdout.
# encode two messages, and verify multimon can decode them
printf '1:hello\n9:world' | pocsag | multimon-ng -c -a POCSAG512 -q -
# encode a message to a file (raw, 22050Hz PCM S16LE)
printf '11:good evening' > transmission.rawpocsag doesn't rely on any dependencies but the C standard libraries. Use
make to compile, or run your own C compiler manually. Feel free to
sudo make install if you want.
