Hi Danilo I might add I modified the stock codec2 code quite extensively for the F7...as you expected. BTW .I NEVER use the STM32 HAL code for ANYTHING. NEVER I have no idea really with the STDPeripheral library is.. I find if you write everything yourself, you learn all about the chip

I use the Si44xx parts in zero IF. works well ! But remember this is not a chip to connect to a real antenna ! it will get overloaded quite easy these chips make excellent IF chips. On 10/03/2018 8:54 AM, Sebastien F4GRX wrote: IIRC the si4463 has a zero IF mode at the price of some

IIRC the si4463 has a zero IF mode at the price of some reduced sensitivity. I cant remember if it applies to FSK modes. Might be worth looking at. Also the IF can be changed to affect the rejection behaviour. Sebastien On 09/03/2018 22:37, Alan Beard wrote: > *Hi Leon and all,* > * > * > *I'm

Hi Leon and all, I'm looking at the   Si4464/63/61/60 data sheet  https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/data-sheets/Si4464-63-61-60.pdf On Page 8 we have "Image Rejection" at only 35db and 55db corrected. Since their IF is only 468KHz, it's not possible to filter it our with the RF front

Hi all, I have about 90 pieces of stm32f405rgt which is the 64 pin device, I see it is "compatible" with the stm32f722 Having worked a lot in the low volume/cost arm world, I have a pcb carrier roughly 1x3 inches, it has the usb plug on it and the xtal, swd etc. It helps you do extreme speed

Agreed. skip the F4 and go straight to the F7 , unless cost is an issue. CODEC2 was almost 1.7x the speed on the F7 compared to F4 for same clock . The H7s are expensive, don't you think Danilo ?  I am going RT1050 for next design.. $5. k On 9/03/2018 7:05 PM, Danilo Beuche wrote: Hi

Hi all, Just bear with me here, My experience with some of the brandmeister guys has been less than spectacular. There is no reason we cannot use "dmr framing" and use codec2 to transmit stuff, effectively splitting a dmr channel into 4 potential codec2 slots. I have revamped the adf7021 hotspot

Hi all, I've put an post on the MMDVM email group asking them to consider Lower BitRate modes and alternate Codecs. Clearly the respondents thus far cannot Think Outside the Square. One complained: "Codec2 doesn't have a Network (in place)" On the BitRate front they ALREADY have a lower

Hi Alan, Yes that's a good description of how new modes are developed. My current goals for FreeDV are: (1) and (2): To complete development of FreeDV 700D, and FreeDV HD to the point where they are integrated into the FreeDV GUI. This involves C coding, and integration. (3) I am also
