Hi Adrian, You data mode (and HNAP) sound pretty cool. Thanks, I enjoyed the SDRA HNAP talk by Lukas, that's quite a sophisticated system.
-/- A couple of recent developments in this area by Bill, VK5DSP, and myself: 1/ We have ported the 4FSK/LLR/LDPC code work to C in this PR https://github.com/drowe67/codec2/pull/136 Some command line examples down the bottom, e.g. 5 bits/s with a MDS of -160dBm (!), and 100 bit/s across-town links on 25uW (!!): http://www.rowetel.com/?p=7273 You can scale to any bit rate you like of course, if you have the link margin. The 4FSK/LLR/OFDM work has been carefully developed to hit the theoretical rate limits, which I understand are about Eb/No=7dB (information bits) for 4FSK. Pls correct me if I'm not explaining this correctly Bill! 2/ The RPi/RTLSDR based system is moving along, yesterday we managed to sent a few packets over a 10km non-LOS (135dBm loss) link on 145.5 MHz at 5000 bits/s, using 13dBm Tx power. Current code/status here: https://github.com/drowe67/pirip 3/ Steve and I have also been work on the HF data modes. We have initial versions of 3 new OFDM/LDPC data modes running in C, between 10 and -5dB SNR. Next step is some tuning and QAM16. That modem might also run OK at higher rates on VHF and above, but we haven't tried it.
