Ardop is a HF email system: https://www.winlink.org/content/ardop_overview
Early in my work on HF modems I had some nice emails and useful tips from Rick Muething, KN6KB, one of the founders of that project. I recently revisited the ARDOP project and found that the OFDM modem used for FreeDV 700D had much greater throughput than the current crop of ARDOP modems. So on June 4 I posted to the ARDOP developers group, asking if they would like to collaborate on HF Modems. One of the ARDOP developers, John G8BPQ, posted today: https://ardop.groups.io/g/developers/message/451 .... that he had improved the the ARDOP data rate by a factor of 2.5 using parts of the 700D OFDM modem design. It's unclear at this stage if he has used any actual of the FreeDV OFDM modem source code. Actually I haven't worked out where the ARDOP code is, or if ARDOP is released under an open source license. Still, nice to know FreeDV has helped other projects out, and it shows that the technology being developed on this project is world class. - David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freetel-codec2 mailing list Freetel-codec2@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freetel-codec2
