my bet is if mod_vmd is not getting them that they are not going to work with tone detect either.  Someone needs to look at the tone and see what frequencies are really involved and if they change throughout the beep.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for these recommendations.

for vmd-not-panasonic-home-ans.wav changing MAX_FREQ to 1450 WORKED!

but I'm still having problems picking out the ~750Hz beep of sprint, tmobile, and verizon. I tried first cutting POINTS and VALID in half, then in half again, while also reducing MIN_AMPL in half but still no luck. I assumed from the descriptions of each, that reducing the numbers would make the algorithm less picky at finding a beep. Is this correct?

Any other recommendations on picking up these ~750Hz beeps? Thanks again for the help.

How close are they to 750Hz? If they're not more than say +/- 16Hz then the tone_detect app *should* be able to detect them. At the very least I would try it. See if tone_detect can detect those beeps. While it may not be the most elegant solution, having mod_vmd looking for one set of tones and tone_detect looking for the 750Hz tones might actually get the job done, at least until you and Eric can get together to see what's happening on the 750's.

Matt,

Okay the good news is vmd should be able to handle these cases. The
bad news is for whatever reason they are not getting detected at the
moment.

vmd-not-panasonic-home-ans.wav is a sine at ~1400Hz you can change
MAX_FREQ to 1450 and play with MIN_AMPL  if that still doesn't help.

The following seem to use the same beep:

vmd-not-tmobile.wav is a sine at ~750Hz but has a bit of noise
vmd-not-sprint.wav is a sine at ~750Hz but has a bit of noise
vmd-not-sprint.wav is a sine at ~750Hz but has a bit of noise

You can try to play with these values:

POINTS 32
VALID 22
MAX_CHIRP 22

If that doesn't work let me know I will try to improve the algorithm
to detect the providers.

Cheers!
