Configuration file for Dire Wolf
Linux version
#############################################################
Consult the User Guide for more details on configuration options.
These are the most likely settings you might change:
(1) MYCALL - call sign and SSID for your station.
Look for lines starting with MYCALL and
change NOCALL to your own.
(2) PBEACON - enable position beaconing.
Look for lines starting with PBEACON and
modify for your call, location, etc.
(3) DIGIPEATER - configure digipeating rules.
Look for lines starting with DIGIPEATER.
Most people will probably use the given example.
Just remove the “#” from the start of the line
to enable it.
(4) IGSERVER, IGLOGIN - IGate server and login
Configure an IGate client to relay messages between
radio and internet servers.
The default location is “direwolf.conf” in the current working directory.
On Linux, the user’s home directory will also be searched.
An alternate configuration file location can be specified with the “-c” command line option.
As you probably guessed by now, # indicates a comment line.
Remove the # at the beginning of a line if you want to use a sample
configuration that is currently commented out.
Commands are a keyword followed by parameters.
Command key words are case insensitive. i.e. upper and lower case are equivalent.
Command parameters are generally case sensitive. i.e. upper and lower case are different.

FIRST AUDIO DEVICE PROPERTIES
(Channel 0 + 1 if in stereo)
#############################################################
Many people will simply use the default sound device.
Some might want to use an alternative device by chosing it here.
Linux ALSA is complicated. See User Guide for discussion.
To use something other than the default, generally use plughw
and a card number reported by “arecord -l” command. Example:
ADEVICE plughw:1,0
Starting with version 1.0, you can also use “-” or “stdin” to
pipe stdout from some other application such as a software defined
radio. You can also specify “UDP:” and an optional port for input.
Something different must be specified for output.
ADEVICE plughw:1,0
Number of audio channels for this souncard: 1 or 2.
ACHANNELS 1
#ACHANNELS 2

SECOND AUDIO DEVICE PROPERTIES
(Channel 2 + 3 if in stereo)

#ADEVICE1 …

THIRD AUDIO DEVICE PROPERTIES
(Channel 4 + 5 if in stereo)

#ADEVICE2 …
#############################################################
CHANNEL 0 PROPERTIES
#############################################################
CHANNEL 0
The following MYCALL, MODEM, PTT, etc. configuration items
apply to the most recent CHANNEL.
Station identifier for this channel.
Multiple channels can have the same or different names.
It can be up to 6 letters and digits with an optional ssid.
The APRS specification requires that it be upper case.
Example (don’t use this unless you are me): MYCALL WB2OSZ-5
MYCALL UR0AAA-2
Pick a suitable modem speed based on your situation.
1200 Most common for VHF/UHF. Default if not specified.
300 Low speed for HF SSB.
9600 High speed - Can’t use Microphone and Speaker connections.
In the simplest form, just specify the speed.
MODEM 1200
#MODEM 300
#MODEM 9600
#############################################################
INTERNET GATEWAY
#############################################################
First you need to specify the name of a Tier 2 server.
The current preferred way is to use one of these regional rotate addresses:
noam.aprs2.net - for North America
soam.aprs2.net - for South America
euro.aprs2.net - for Europe and Africa
asia.aprs2.net - for Asia
aunz.aprs2.net - for Oceania
IGSERVER euro.aprs2.net
You also need to specify your login name and passcode.
Contact the author if you can’t figure out how to generate the passcode.
IGLOGIN UR0AAA 12345
That’s all you need for a receive only IGate which relays
messages from the local radio channel to the global servers.
Some might want to send an IGate client position directly to a server
without sending it over the air and relying on someone else to
forward it to an IGate server. This is done by using sendto=IG rather
than a radio channel number. Overlay R for receive only, T for two way.
PBEACON sendto=IG delay=0:30 every=60 overlay=R symbol=“digi” lat=55.3568 long=21.2574
