Program Description
-------------------
BanpaiA is the first DDI (digital data interpreter) for monitoring cellular
traffic in AMPS/NAMPS/DAMPS cellular networks using a radio scanner + sound
card, no extra hardware or modified cellulars needed.
The input of the BanpaiA is an audio signal like that from a radio scanner
connected to a sound card.
This first BETA release is designed for monitoring REVERSE CHANNEL
and getting info such as MIN/ESN from the data channel.
The program uses BCH encoding crc checking for validation of the data.
Note: In some states of USA and other countries these actions are illegal.
The authors do not have any responsabilities for your actions.
Be careful! Look at Kevin...
System requirements
-------------------
You need a 486DX or better to run the Linux/Win95 version. At this time the
system requirements are NOT fully tested because this is the first beta
release for public distributions.
The software was designed in a 486 DX2 120mhz / 32mb ram / Sound Blaster 16
complatible sound card, and worked fine in this configuration. The ratio of
capture packets is 9/10 in Win95 version and 5/10 in Linux version.
You DON'T need full duplex sound card or equivalent, but if your sound card
is better, the capture ratio will be better. This is very important in the
Linux version, see below.
The scanner
-----------
You need a FM reciver for 834.000 mhz to 880.000 mhz aprox. You also need a
direct discriminator ouput. For this project I use a ICOM PCR-1000 scanner
and I obtain very good results. Some people use a Pro-2004, Pro 2006 and
Pro 34 discriminator tapped scanner.

INSTALATION NOTES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scanner tuning
--------------
This are the most important item in the use of BanpaiA.
First you set the scanner on 879.990 mhz FM (channel #333). Set the step to
30khz (if it is posible) and check in the listed frecuencies for the most
powerful signaling. You will hear "frrrfrrrfrr". Look at the level and
notice that it is the strongest signal. Look at the table and set the
scanner to the RVC freq. Connect the discriminator output of your scanner to
the line in on the sound card.
TABLE FOR PAIRS IN SYSTEM "A"
Look for strongest signal (FVC): Set to (RVC): Channel:
879.540 Mhz 834.540 Mhz Chan 0318
879.570 Mhz 834.570 Mhz Chan 0319

Windows 95 setup
----------------
Win95 version is to easy to install. Make a dir on your drive and put these
files in it. Put the output from the discriminator tap of the scanner into
the LINE IN of the sound card. If your card does not have LINE IN use the
MIC connector. Set the sound mixer in the correct input (LINE IN or MIC).
Set the volume level to the middle of it range. Run banpaia.exe and look in
the "input level". The signaling must be good in the 1/3 part of the meter.
When the signal appears, the program will decode the pairs and put the info
in the history window.
All data is loged in a file named "getitwin.log" in the runing dir.
Normaly I dont have problems in the windows version. If you have problems
check the mixer for another volume level and re-run banpaia.
Linux setup
-----------
THE LINUX SETUP IS MOST DIFICULT. IF YOU ARE DUMB, USE THE WIN95 VERSION
Linux version uses the /dev/dsp sound device to get the data. This device
is created by the kenrnel. To check if your sound card works type:
# cat /dev/sndstat
If your sound card works you should see this or similar:
OSS/Linux 3.8.1q (C) 4Front Technologies 1997
License serial number: N02622165
Kernel: Linux panic 2.0.33 #8 Tue Apr 21 22:24:54 ARST 1998 i486
Card config:
SoundBlaster at 0x220 irq 7 drq 1
OPL-2/OPL-3 FM at 0x388
Audio devices:
0: Sound Blaster Pro (8 BIT ONLY) (3.2)
This sound device is programed by a company called 4Front Technologies "OSS"
This device is SHIT! and does not work good. The OSS company has a
"comercial" version of the /dev/dsp device. I think the comercial version
obtains the best results but is not much better.
I obtain best results by using a Sound Blaster 16 (original no PnP). The
program works with other cards (SB-PRO, clones etc) but you loose too many
pairs. If you live in a city with lots of traffic, this should not be a
problem. Normaly you should get 40/150 pairs a day. In the win95 version
you get 200/300 pairs.
For info about the OSS drivers look in http://www.4front-tech.com/ossfree
If your /dev/sndstat and /dev/dsp work fine you need run ./banpaia and the
program will start decoding data. If your terminal does not support colors
type:
export TERM=ansi
IMPORTANT 1: You need a "mixer" to set the input source and level. Get the
file from the banpaia web page you need to test the program in different
levels and input (mic/line in) to obtain best results.
Linux is a multitasking operating system. The program needs high recurses
to work. Dont use X windows or other big programs or banpaia wont decode
anything.
If you have problems run:
./banpaia -test
If in the screen apears "0101011101010011111010101010" the program runs ok.
If you see only "00000000000" or "111111111111" you have mixer or conection
problems.
All capture info is loged in a file called "banpaia.log" in the working dir.
