Had a good read.? I can add that
Jonathan Naylor G4KLX was responsible for adding M17 support to
the MMDVM project (which is also his work).? He also created
M17Client, which is client side (radio terminal) software that
used a MMDVM board as a user radio.? This works with both the
modems (paired with a 9600 capable radio, makes an excellent M17
radio) and hotspots (creating a QRP self contained transceiver).?
Only other thing required is a USB sound device and some form of
display usually HDMI or Nextion, though I got it working using a
remote X server.
I've been involved in testing the MMDVM
implementations of M17.? I've also played with the TNC3
(unfortunately the app doesn't like my Android phone, which makes
it a challenge to get working reliably), and today I use a
Module17 into my own local M17 systems.? The M17Client is still
available as an alternative or for demonstrating a different
implementation.? As your article states, the different
implementations work well with each other.
You missed M17Tools, which is a suite of software that runs on a
host PC/Pi/Mac etc and can use a soundcard interface (Digirig is a
recommended all in one interface that can pass baseband) to do M17
with a 9600 capable radio.? At this time, M17Client doesn't like
my Windows laptop, but others have reported good results,
especially on Linux hosts.
Haven't got my hands on a CSI radio
yet.? Unfortunately, current exchange rates and other issues make
it a lower priority expense right now, but I'd like to eventually
support their efforts, because it deserves support.? Yes, it's at
an early alpha level, but testing and bug reporting is an
interesting and worthwhile activity for me to do.

Enjoy reading (and I¡¯m looking forward to
hearing what I got wrong for a future update).
