I have often wondered just how diffucult it would to be to build a D-Star system around a Micor or M2. D-Star is mostly open protocol (except for the software which is propriatry to Icom), the AMBE vocoder chips are available from the manufacturer, and GMSK modem chips are also available.
Seems like some smart experimenter (much smarter than me anyway),could build such a system and we would not be stuck with one vendor for D-Star systems. It would also have the bulletproof RF performance of the Micor or M2 radios. --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, DCFluX <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What do you guys know about the AOR digital modems?
