How open/free will the platform be? Will I be able to port OpenBSD, compile all of the device drivers, and have the computer/radio run on OpenBSD instead of Linux? (Requiring GPL for some software i

Greetings all, I have a ThumbDV and just installed it this week. Due to rather skimpy documentation, it took a little while to get it working right, especially with XRF reflectors. It is doing fin

Has anybody run and/or tested the DV3000 running at 460.8K baud instead of 230.4K baud? I have an application for them, but need them to run at the higher data rate. Robert N5QM

I can’t get my ThumbDV to work. Apparently, my computer cannot see it. My friends report that when they plugged their ThumbDV into a WinBook 700 it automatically installed drivers, etc. Mine did no

Is it possible to just use the DV3000 to vocode auduio and pass it via TCP or UDP over a network? or would it need FEC and sync bits and such.

One of the things I'd like to do with a UDRX is run a remote 9600 packet node. I'm not sure how the 9600 baud functionality is supported within the radio but would it be possible to also load LinBPQ i

Does anyone have acopy of this software or have any idea how I can get a copy. I recently purchased the ThumbDV, watched the youtube video like 6 times and now I find out that you cannot use the softw
