In our design voice is just another data application. We are designing a "last mile" Digital RF solution for mobiles and walkie-talkies using a HSMM-Mesh network as a backbone.
Peter, you and anyone else interested are more than welcome to join our effort. At present we are designing from a high level how things will inter-operate. The road map consists of: DSMART Protocol Repeater/Base Station Mobile Station Hand held Station The eventual goal being a smart amateur radio transceiver system that is fully open source in software and hardware. -Mike On 04/28/2012 12:27 PM, Peter wrote: > On 28 April 2012 16:33, Mike Eber<[email protected]> wrote: >> D-Star has several design flaws, a few being: >> >> Raw uncoordinated Ethernet frames on the data side.
