syntorxdecode − Decipher code plugs for conventional Syntor X radios
syntorxdecode [-LHUW8bhsv] [-f input-file ]
Syntorxgen reads a code plug in plain hex or Motorola S-record format. An input file suitable for feeding to syntorxgen, and describing the contents of the code plug, is generated.
Note that it is nearly impossible for the program to guess where the V-bit splits were set when the code plug was generated. This will not break the decoding, but may cause problems in regenerating the code plug if you do not edit the resulting file.
For copious information on working with Syntor X radios, see http://www.open.org/~blenderm/syntorx/.
For details of the contents of a Syntor X code plug, see http://kb8zqz.net/pakman/syntorx.htm.
The author’s knowledge of these radios has come largely from these sources, and from Motorola manuals. Any errors are mine, not theirs.

-f input-file
Read the code plug from input-file instead of standard input.
Syntorxdecode is capable of reading three input file formats. The first is the Motorola S-record, a well known, and widely supported transfer format. The second is a simple hex dump format. The latter places sixteen hex pairs per line, with a single space in between. There are no headers, and all files are assumed to start at offset 0. The third is a raw binary image of the code plug.
If you need utilities to convert between various hex formats, you might be interested in Peter Miller’s Srecord package. See http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~millerp/README.html.
Doubtless there are many.
