-c shows all call-sepcific mheard-data. You can use -v and
-F here
-d starts dx-cluster-spy-mode
-f writes all received ax.25 data to the file
/var/lib/ax25/ax25spy. The file contains the raw ax.25
data, as received from the kernel. Each packet is
preceeded with an (int size). If the file could not be
opend/created ax25spy will be aborted.
-F filterexpression
shows only those ax.25 packets, which header contain
filterexpression as substring (doesn’t work yet). In

calls, which contain filterexpression (The
Filterexpression is casesensitive!)
-I shows only ax.25 packets with infofield (I and UI)
-m shows the global mheard-data
-n ???
-N shows all new QSO detected
-p shows only frames, which contain IP
-q shows all qso-sepcific mheard-data. You can use -v and
-F here.
-Q be quiet
-s starts spy, requires -F for selection. You can give a
call, part of a call (in uppercase) or a qsoid with -F.
you can see all QSOid using -qv Example: ax25spy -s
-F DG9EP
or ax25spy -s -F 23
-S <qsoid> starts spy on qso with id <qsoid>
-t shows the timestamp of the packet
-T shows only the header of ax.25 packets and the header of
embedded protocols but without any data
-v be more verbose
-V shows the version of the program
