It's free as in speech, as well as free as in beer :-) You can grab the source from sourceforge using subversion: https://freetel.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/freetel/fdmdv2/
I built it on my Mac, and made some QSOs with it on my KX3 -- it works FB. Here is what I did: 0) Pre-requisite: install Macports to provide dependent libraries: http://www.macports.org/install.php (I had already done this beforehand). 1) Check out source from subversion: svn co https://freetel.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/freetel/fdmdv2/ fdmdv2 2) Change into the directory and apply the Mac OSX patch: cd fdmdv2 patch -p0 <README.osx 3) Install library dependencies: sudo port install wxWidgets30 +aui +universal portaudio +universal sox +universal libsndfile +universal libsamplerate +universal 4) Change to source directory and build: cd src make -f Makefile.osx 5) Run the program: open FreeDV.app Most of this is described in the README.osx file. There are probably pre-compiled binaries for MS-Windows on the main site, but as mentioned below, it seems like that site is down at the moment. 73, Matt VK2RQ.
