Hi Al and others, The M17 project has affiliated with Open Research Institute, so that they can solicit for grants as an IRS accredited 501 c 3 nonprofit organization. Since ARDC will be granting 5 million dollars a year to amateur radio Open Source projects every year, this is a viable prospect to fund more development, and something all Open Source ham projects can do. As you've probably heard, ORI received a half million-dollar grant for developing a 10 gigahertz satellite ground station design incorporating Codec2 as Open Source and Open Hardware, and a number of smaller grants for various projects.
The target for any grant to M17 will be a radio that is manufactured, incorporates Codec2, and is entirely Open Source and Open Hardware. Thanks Bruce > > >
