Re: Internet Fail & Cell Weakness = Need for Ham Network?
Indeed; this is something that is highly needed with linked systems like D-Star, and to a lesser extent with Amateur use of DMR and NXDN.

Re: Internet Fail & Cell Weakness = Need for Ham Network?
As someone noted, D-Star is getting a bit long in the tooth
so it was inevitable that an alternative would appear - thus
Yaesu.
Icom has to decide to play-nicely or to try to block Yaesu,

Re: Internet Fail & Cell Weakness = Need for Ham Network?
I can’t agree with your reading of the situation. Yaesu has not offered an alternative – all they have offered is a radio: no infrastructure, nothing, just a radio that is pretty well incompatible

I agree about the need for a wireless network, cost of pure digital gear and hardware adoption; I disagree that complexity is how it has to be. I don't have my local work in progress D-Star node

Well, I'm not sure what sort of wireless network you're talking about, but down here, one can never forget distance. The telcos actually do a pretty good job of providing coverage down here, given

It would be nice to have a patent free alternative, but where is the money going to come from to get Codec2 developed to the point where it is a viable alternative to AMBE? As I said in another group

I need to look at the "wireless MESH NODE network".
I did just read that IPv6 can greatly expand the data capacity of a packet.
What, please is the "new NW Digital radio"?
