<div>add the GMSK demod and FEC routines to the voter receiver board - assuming it has the DSP horsepower (open source code is available)</div>
<div>when it hears D-STAR, it sends time-stamped data frames (with RSSI and maybe BER) to the D-STAR voter main program(1)<br>
when it does not hear the DSTAR sync tone, it sends uLaw audio with time stamps and RSSI to another address: the analog voter program(2)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>program 1 (running on some computer somewhere) receives the frames above and reconsititutes the DSTAR data (with regenerated FEC) and streams it to the DSTAR repeater address and port.</div>

program 2 (running on some computer somewhere) reassembles the audio stream and produces audio for the Asterisk analog repeater.</div>

Unfortunately physics does not allow (for several reasons) data to be decoded from the audio<br>
as a result of any type of voting system. The only way to accomplish voting using digital audio<br>
is to decode the digital stream (at least into digital data) at the voting receiver site, *then* send<br>
the decoded audio data as packets for voting etc.<br>
