okay so bestie, welcome to bnetz-dialer(1) — a whole General Commands Manual moment. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

bnetz-dialer — http://osmocom-analog.eversberg.eu/docs/

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bnetz-dialer

so like. what does this little icon actually do? it generates a dialing sequence so you can make a call through a B-Netz base station using an amateur radio transceiver. yes, really. 📻

and that's not all — it can also write an audio file (a wave file, mwah) that you feed straight into a B-Netz base station, so you can watch it do its little simulation of a B-Netz phone placing an outgoing call. it's giving "method acting, but for phones." 💅

• -h, --help — this help. the classic. the moment. 🫶
• -i, --station-id <station ID> — 5 digits of ID of mobile station. the default is '50993'.
• -a, --audio-device hw:<card>,<device> — sound card and device number. default is 'hw:0,0'.
• -s, --samplerate <rate> — sample rate of sound device. default is '48000'.
• -w, --write-tx-wave <file> — write audio to given wave file also. yes, also. both. 💖
• -g, --gebuehenimpuls, --metering — indicate to base station that we have a charge meter on board. this will allow the base station to send billing tones during call. 💸
• -m, --muenztelefon, --coin-box — okay so the page literally just lists these flags and gives zero description. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 💀

ngl bestie, if you're gonna go poke at the B-Netz base station, double-check your station ID and your audio device first, because the defaults are '50993' and 'hw:0,0' and those are just vibes until you confirm them. 🦋

okay that's the whole page, slay, you ate, periodt 👑
