I was actually thinking of using a soundmodem to add a second TNC to my D710. The intent was to run Winlink 2000 on one and APRS on the other, from the same laptop. The radio does the -plexing.

I'm not opposed to linking different protocols, but there is value in some of the objections to linking specific networks. If the objections or concerns can be mitigated, then fewer people would

And still going to be under USD400???? Let’s just get this one on the market and then worry about bigger and better (?) models. Howard VK4BS

D-STAR was developed a long time ago, technology has moved on since, also. Agree totally. To me, the ultimate aim is to have a I had the same issue back in 2002, when I was running IRLP and

In time, I'm sure Codec2 will get there. I'm not sold on TDMA myself. That comes from living in a land known for its wide open spaces, and a past history of working VHF/UHF openings. What are the

Now this is a neat idea! 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com

Unless you're in the know, you'd be surprised where Linux pops up. It's a solid workhorse platform, which is extremely versatile. 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com

Now build that for vhf and uhf bands all in one box and we are in business 144, 440 1230 ... and maybe higher?!? Dg9bfc Sigi

"What concerns me more is the (political) resistance to allowing interoperability/gateways between systems." Now.... Article 1.56 of the ITU Radio Regulations define amateur service as

Hi John, Thanks for taking what I said on board, I was worried I may have been a little aggressive and offended you/your team. People don't really like it when you pick on their products saying "what

Josh, Keeping this short :) 1. The radio side has a very small part count and very high integration. For the most part, moving to another band has to do with some discrete components and the PA

Excellent, you have to love the ingenuity of hams crowd sourcing. I was under the impression the two were not compatible. Great to know this can be overcome. Ke6anm Respectfully Perry Chamberlain

Hi John, Thanks for the quick reply. To avoid this getting too big I'll snip out the bits I'd like to add further comment/clarification to. Competely understand. I deploy and manage servers that exist

Hi Karen, The UDR56K has been designed for high duty cycle at 25 watts, but not all tests for specifications have been performed. More data will be available in the future. If you look at the

"this is something that should have been done ten years ago" QFT Unfortunately it wasn't, and that the biggest issue I have with the development of D-Star. Having said that, Amateur Radio is already

If Codec-2 is ported to the UDR56K a user would have the option of using AMBE based DV (with the add-on card) and/or Codec-2. Codec-2 has been making a lot of progress but isn't quite ready. A

Hi Josh,

David, Not intentionally, by any means; I was discussing a way to link Codec2 and D-Star with Tony VK3JED and Kristoff ON1ARF last fall or winter. I recently thought of finding a way to do this with

Hi All, I LOVE what this radio stands for. I love the fact that it will be an open source radio, but is the hardware going to be open as well? PCB design, chip code, etc? Is the project going to be

OK now you're talking politics. I do have a bridge running between D-Star and Echolink, but there are some admin areas that need to be fixed especially around identification. The audio quality
