Re: [digitalradio] Digital voice in general
James, many of us did a lot with digital voice a couple of years ago (search the archives of this group for LOTS of info. It worked quite well IF there was a good signal to noise ratio. It began to decline in interest when the main codec used was declared to be in violation of a commercial copyright and the software developers dutifully switched to a different codec. The newer codec did not produce the same quality of digital voice. Al of this was software, not hardware, based...using PC soundcards.

Re: [digitalradio] Digital voice in general
Have you ever tried FDMDV? Very narrow (~1200 Hz), all-software digital voice protocol that sounds pretty good and, due to the low bandwidth, works well with low power. Look for activity around 14.236 USB. As far as VHF goes, D-STAR is getting pretty popular worldwide. Of course, there currently aren't any implementations other than Icom's overpriced radios. -Joe, N8FQ On Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:31:18 -0500 James French wrote: > Wondering if anyone has done any digital voice other than with > the AOR unit? > > What I am looking for specifically is software done (if possible) > and then manufactured units or kits. > > Would like to give it a try on VHF then move to HF if there is any > activity. > > James W8ISS

Wondering if anyone has done any digital voice other than with the AOR unit? What I am looking for specifically is software done (if possible) and then manufactured units or kits. Would like to give it a try on VHF then move to HF if there is any activity. James W8ISS
