#	Horus Binary *Triple* Decoder Script
#	Intended for situations with three payloads in the air, spaced ~10 kHz apart.
#   NOTE - Ensure your horus_demod build is from newer than ~5th April 2024, else this
#   will not work correctly!
#
#   It also possible to extend this approach further to handle as many transmissions
#   as can be safely fitted into the receiver passband (+/- 24 kHz). Spacings of
#   5 kHz between transmissions is possible with frequency stable transmitters (e.g. RS41s)
#   Don't try this with DFM17's, which drift a lot!

# The following settings are an example for a situation where there are three transmitters in the air,
# on: 434.190 MHz, 434.200 MHz, and 434.210 MHz.

# The *centre* frequency of the SDR Receiver, in Hz.
# It's recommended that this not be tuned directly on top of one of the signals we want to receive,
# as sometimes we can get a DC spike which can affect the demodulators.
# In this example the receiver has been tuned in the middle of 2 of the signals, at 434.195 MHz.
RXFREQ=434195000

# Where to find the first signal - in this case at 434.190 MHz, so -5000 Hz below the centre.
MFSK1_SIGNAL=-5000

# Where to find the second signal - in this case at 434.200 MHz, so 5000 Hz above the centre.
MFSK2_SIGNAL=5000

# Where to find the third signal - in this case at 434.210 MHz, so 15000 Hz above the centre.
MFSK3_SIGNAL=15000

# Frequency estimator bandwidth. The wider the bandwidth, the more drift and frequency error the modem can tolerate,
# but the higher the chance that the modem will lock on to a strong spurious signal.
RXBANDWIDTH=8000

# RTLSDR Device Selection
# If you want to use a specific RTLSDR, you can change this setting to match the 
# device identifier of your SDR (use rtl_test to get a list)

# Receiver Gain. Set this to 0 to use automatic gain control, otherwise if running a
# preamplifier, you may want to experiment with different gain settings to optimize
# your receiver setup.
# You can find what gain range is valid for your RTLSDR by running: rtl_test
GAIN=0

# Bias Tee Enable (1) or Disable (0)
# NOTE: This uses the -T bias-tee option which is only available on recent versions
# of rtl-sdr. Check if your version has this option by running rtl_fm --help and looking
# for it in the option list.
# If not, you may need to uninstall that version, and then compile from source: https://github.com/osmocom/rtl-sdr
