Information contained when running reassembler using page and msg mode about iridium-toolkit

[Sec42]

I'm sorry you feel that my answer was rude. I did answer both your questions.

If you feel a reference to the source is rude, please consider that this is not an end-user ready tool -- and in my experience source code is an easy way to communicate for developers

What have you tried to understand that info?

'page' mode is just printing the page requests from IRA packets in a slightly different form - see https://github.com/muccc/iridium-toolkit/blob/master/reassembler.py#L1573
it is one line per page with satid, beamid, latitude, longitude, altitude before the colon, and the page request afterwards. The page request identifies the mobile device to wake up & respond.

'msg' is (reassembling) and printing the pager messages you see in MSG packets. What you see there is what is sent over the air as is. There are very few plaintext page messages remaining as iridium is not selling/marketing that service for several years now.

The encoded text is probably part of the "Iridium Burst" service. But it's contents are not yet understood.

Due to lack of proper documentation, many times it becomes difficult to understand the info contained in the output especially when its encoded or doesn't make any logical sense. You yourself have written that contents of encoded text are not yet understood. Therefore, if someone asks a simple question, there is no need to be rude. Your project has helped many people like me to understand dynamics of Iridium satellite communication and we all really appreciate your efforts to keep project updated and your prompt replies. Thanks
