I'm thinking M17 (based on Codec2) might be better to incorporate since
it's already building in routing type features that DMR, D-STAR, etc.
already have. I'm not really familiar with OpenGD77 but it seems like a
neat project. Unfortunately I don't have a compatible HT (I use a MD-380
for DMR) but perhaps it'll gain more support in the future.
