-d  starts dx-cluster-spy-mode

-f  writes all received ax.25 data to the file /var/ax25/ax25spy. The file contains the raw ax.25 data, as received from the kernel. Each packet is preceeded with an (int size). If the file could not be opend/created ax25spy will be aborted.

-F filterexpression

-S <qsoid>
    starts spy on qso with id <qsoid>
