HamRadioNow: State of Digital Voice - DCC 2017
A 5-watt DMR radio could be replaced by a well implemented SDR running
about 0.75 watts says *Bruce Perens K6BP*, watch this video of his DCC
presentation
This is Bruce Perens K6BP at the 2017 ARRL/TAPR Digital Communications
Conference. Do we really need to say any more? OK, Bruce's main point is
one he's been making for several years: The major manufacturers have been
screwing up Digital Voice with mediocre implementation and their
incompatible walled gardens. And we're slowly getting closer to VHF+SDR
radios that can do better.
He is especially critical of Yaesu, but actually compliments Kenwood for
introducing a radio that is actually compatible with at least one other
line of radios (ICOM/D-STAR).
Skip the intro 5:14 but maybe contribute a few bucks to help us produce the
DCC video series. Support HamRadioNow at:
