The thinking is HSMM-MESH is a powerful tool in high density scenarios and should be part of the ecosystem.
There is also a need for higher power, mobile and point to point links. The UDR56K

Re: Internet Fail & Cell Weakness = Need for Ham Network?
Gee, Nate, how quickly you went to marginalizing other viewpoints by characterizing folks as "lemmings."
I submit to you that market forces may not be technically perfect - but that these forces

Re: Internet Fail & Cell Weakness = Need for Ham Network?
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

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

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

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

Re: Update ?!
Hello to the group,
It's great to here updated news on the UDR56k. I'm hoping it will be a
great radio to run on a new US network called DSAP (Digital Smart Access
