I’ve already independently replicated this work with software I wrote myself.  I have a couple of loaner modems.  I’m currently working on decoding in the face of missing frames and enabling diversity receive frame integration.  Work on this is slow for me at the moment because of the demands of my day job.

FYI; Note that it apparently doesn't decode PACTOR 4, but maybe that's only because that version's not legal here yet.


Ria, any comment on this?

This has been possible for a long time, but this may be the easiest turnkey solution

PMON - An Independent Pactor/Winlink Monitor For The Raspberry Pi

Configure

SCS, the company that created Pactor, has released software for Linux to allow over-the-air monitoring of Pactor 1/2/3 transmissions for meaning. Besides monitoring Pactor 1/2/3, PMON automatically decompresses B2F/LZHUF compressed messages on the fly. This is very useful for monitoring Winlink email transfers. The program requires only minimal hardware: an inexpensive Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (minimum) computer and an inexpensive USB sound device. An SCS Pactor modem is not needed.

The program is a free download for radio amateurs from a Linux repository provided by SCS. Easy-to-follow instructions, program information and documentation are provided on this SCS web page.

Thank you to John Huggins and Gordon Gibby, MD for their original decoding programs, and to Hans-Peter Helfert and the SCS team for this needed contribution to the amateur radio community!
