way it would be 100% open source which would be super awesome. I would imagine leaving the DMR standard (9.6kbps) in favour of a lower phy bit rate would also offer gains as far as power per bit is concerned, but that would be much more involved I would guess. Regards, Daniel Mundall VA7DRM

Hi Adrian, Totally agree about the SDR hardware getting cheaper, a good case in point is the limeSDR mini which has more than enough flexibility for any ham style project. https://www.crowdsupply.com/lime-micro/limesdr-mini#products-top Couple that with a rock64 and you could have a great low
