Thanks David! This is then easier than I thought, because I don't have to do the input and output voice resampling. I'll take a stab at it tonight Adrian On October 24, 2019 7:08:24 AM UTC, David Rowe wrote: >The speech input and output is at 8 kHz. The modem input and output >runs at 48 kHz.

The speech input and output is at 8 kHz. The modem input and output runs at 48 kHz. Some examples of command line operation of the mode at the bottom of codec2/README.md Cheers, David On 24/10/19 5:56 am, Adrian Musceac wrote: > So does this mean the input sample rate is also 48 kHz? That would

I see. The design choices in 2400A are too low level for me, I mostly write glue code between gnuradio blocks and handle the user interface. If it needs 48 kHz, then this is what I will feed into FreeDV. Thanks, Adrian On October 23, 2019 8:26:27 PM UTC, Steve wrote: >I'm not sure why 48 kHz

I'm not sure why 48 kHz was used, other than it makes for a more pure waveform, and is compatible with sound cards. You need at least 9600 Hz, as the 4800 Hz tone would need as a minimum 2X to get it sampled. I suspect 16 kHz would work good in firmware A/D or D/A (without a sound card). The main

I'd be curious how well qradiolink generated FreeDV does against regular SSB FreeDV. I don't have an SSB radio to check this, it's all SDR for me. The main challenge I see is SDR frequency correction, since we can't be off frequncy by much. Newer devices have input for GPSDO, but I don't posess

Alan, If you only want a cross-band repeater you don't need umurmur. That is for connecting repeaters or radios over the internet. Just enable TX and RX in qradiolink, set the TX shift in kHz and then enable the repeater. You can use two separate devices in qradiolink. Adrian On October 20,
