The mcHF does indeed have FreeDV built in RX and TX (I'm looking right at it)
I'm running ver 1.5.7 of the firmware (Ia little old as I have not updated it recently) From: Bob Nielsen <n...@n7xy.net> To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Monday, March 27, 2017 7:13 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3/K3s; Digital modes, specifically DV While the mcHF has some digital audio circuitry, I don't believe it provides a digital voice mode. FreeDV is a very narrow-band (1.1 kHz) digital voice mode using the open-source Codec2, developed by VK5DGR. One can run FreeDV without a computer using the Rowetel SM1000 adapter (https://www.tindie.com/products/edwin/sm1000-freedv-adpapter/). This should work nicely with a KX2 or KX3 for portable FreeDV operation. I haven't tried doing that but it looks fairly straightforward.
