They'd implement >the vocoder algorithm into their existing firmware on the onboard processor.... I doubt the onboard processor would be up to the job. The codec would most likely be implemented in a DSP chip (much like AMBE is). The only onboard processors that might be up to the job would be those in the latest smartphones. Radios tend to use less powerful processors (they don't have the need for the grunt). 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
