Re: 100 subscribers, CS M17 Radios nearly shipping
I've also heard directly from CS 7000 buyers that their shipping status has changed, so it looks like people will have M17 radios in their hands soon. :)

Re: Echo/Parrot
I have the same question.?? I am near tacoma,? close to the puyallup fairgrounds. I was considering buying one of the radios but if there is no one to talk to not very interesting. I love the idea

Re: Help me understand ...
Actually D-STAR was originally developed in the late 90s, IIRC.? And codec choices were limited back then - LPC-10 worked at 2400 bps, there was code in the public domain, but it sounded AWFUL!

Yes I'm led to believe newer radios do run the licensed code, rather than use the separate AMBE chip.

Some modes can crossmode, because the codec version/protocol is the same between the modes. Transcoding is used when the codec versions/protocols are different/incompatible between the

Re: Other platforms or methods for M17
Transcoding is pretty much outside the domain of WPSD. The original Pi-Star never transcoded, and WPSD would have followed suit. These suites are built around MMDVMHost and related software, which
