I loaded FreeDV today, on an Ubuntu i5-64bit laptop. It works quite
well. I heard no calls on 14.236 MHZ, but the receive function is
working. I'm having the usual fun setting up PTT, but it will come
along over time.
Tried doing the same thing on the Windoze 7-64 box, and Panda AV decided
it was a virus and sidetracked it, meaning it IS a virus. That would
be the installer program. Has anyone else had this problem? Just
curious. I've had other programs trigger Panda to flush them, but
nothing like this.
Thanks and 73,

Greetings to all,
The K3/K3s is an excellent radio for digital modes due to the ease of
interfacing with a computer if desired. A computer is not even needed
for some digital modes, and I have tried that successfully.
I have mentioned in the past that I had tried the free software for
digital voice on HF called 'FreeDV'. I had worked a Canadian ham a few
times using it and he has been keeping in contact with me via email
encouraging me to get back into it. I am starting to get up to date
again, and I found accurate reviews of it on
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/11016 by K2RWF and WA0TPN. I think
you will find the reviews interesting and informative.
Notice that the reviews seem to be either at, or near, 5/5 or 0/5. I
think both of the reviews I mentioned answer why that is. I will keep
my experience mute and let you glean aye/nay from the reviews. Whether
you approve of digital voice or not, the K3/K3s is a natural for using
it, and it's fun. (As always with digital modes, be kind to your finals.)
FYI,
Dick, n0ce
