Anyone had a chance to spin up a Windows version yet?

Subject: [Freetel-codec2] FreeDV 700C and 800XA

Hello,

Over the weekend I have integrated the 700C Codec 2 with the FreeDV API and
FreeDV GUI programs.  The 700C FreeDV mode uses the 700C codec and the 700
bit/s coherent PSK modem developed a few years ago.  It works OK for me
between radios on the bench.

With Brady's help, the 800XA mode has also been added.  This also uses the
700C codec but is teamed with the 4FSK modem we have developed for VHF/UHF
work.  The extra 100 bit/s is for frame synchronization. This is a bit
experimental for HF work, but has the advantage of being a constant power
waveform.  I tested it today and managed to smoke up the balun in my end fed
antenna (which is rated for SSB I guess not CW)!

On my bench tests 800XA still has issues with losing sync with non-flat SSB
filters, Brady and I will work on that over the next few weeks.  The same
modem is working really well with 100 kbit/s UHF SSTV:

The FreeDV code is all checked in, so some of you might like to build and
try it it.  We will look at getting some Windows versions built shortly.

It's early days for 700C and 800XA.  My first goal is to see if FreeDV 700C
works at least as well as FreeDV 1600 in terms of speech quality and
robustness.

Next steps will include making 700C more robust to HF channel issues, and
another lap around the codec development to see if we can improve speech
quality.  Once we are happy that it's an improvement on FreeDV
1600 we'll see about a SM1000 port.

Thanks,

David
