Hi all,
Just a small message to let you know I will be giving a talk called "Codec2 vocoder and digital voice over radio" at the Software Freedom Day at the 21st of september in hackerspace Brussels. As this is a talk in a hackerspace, not a radio-club, this talk is less technical and more to give a general overview of this subject. The goal is to provide some information on codec2, on what makes a vocoder different from other audio codecs, and how to go from having a vocoder to actually build a complete system around it that actually does something. It will also touch on some of the internals of a radio-modem (like forwared error correct, interleaving, ...) but explained in laymens terms and examples. The Software Freedom Day is an event organised by the Brussels hackerspace that covers a wide range of subjects in the open source and maker-movement. There are talks about some of the social and cultural fenomia (hackerspaces, open streetmap, open hardware, open source and art, ...), practicle workshops (arduino for modeltrains, owncloud on raspberry pi, websites using CMS, GIMP), some more "geeky" stuff, and .... offcourse, the obligatory course on lockpicking! :-) As this event will attract quite a technical audience, we will also use it to make some publicity for ham-radio, the ideal ticket for people interested in electronics to go "one step further" and use radio-technology inside their other projects. But, this event should also be interested for hams as it technology in a very wide field and also to give some idea of what this "open source" culture is about.
