Hi all,

What strategies do people use for testing the SM1000?  I've had a report
that the binary I built would not decode FreeDV 1600 signals.

I just tried, and indeed, I could not get it, or the production binary,
to decode a prepared signal sent from my laptop from the command line:

My steps:
$ sox ~/hamradio/projects/broadcast/vk4_warmup.mp3 -t raw -r 16000 -c 1
-b 16 -e signed-integer -L vk4-warmup.raw
$ c2enc 1600 vk4-warmup.raw vk4-warmup.c2
$ fdmdv_mod vk4-warmup.c2 vk4-warmup.fdmdv
$ sox -t raw -r 16000 -c 1 -b 16 -e signed-integer -L vk4-warmup.fdmdv
-r 48000 -c 2 fdmdv.wav
$ aplay -D hw:0,0 fdmdv.wav

I used a cable to link the computer's output to the RIG SPKR jack on the
SM1000.

I ought to have heard the dulcet tones of Graham VK4BB announcing the
times and frequencies of the WIA broadcast -- this is the recording that
proceeds WIA News/QNews here in Queensland.  Instead, I got mostly
silence, save a few squawks from the SM1000.

Is there some way that I can produce a reference FreeDV signal that the
unit can decode?

(The vk4_warmup.mp3 is from here: http://www.wiaq.com/ftp/vk4_warmup.mp3)

I haven't lost my mind...
  ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
