Mike and I have been working with the MMDVM and the Home Brew
Repeater code for a couple of weeks.
It's very early in the process and I think that unless you like to
try to hit at least 3 moving targets, I suggest people wait. The
MMDVM is a
Arduino Due and a small analog board. The modem firmware runs on
the Due. The analog board does some filtering and level control. We
are running a early prototype board from Jim KI6ZUM. Jim has some
new boards in the works, so right now waiting or build your own is
the only choice.
The software is early and buggy, as any new software is. Jonathan
G4KLX has done a phenomenal job so far and it only will get better.
The test software ONLY works in duplex mode, which is a problem
because if your transmit data is not right, you will not get too far
with receive. Kind of a catch 22. Jonathan G4KLX says that the
deviation should be 3.88 KHz. So on my IFR 1200S that works out to a
hair under 4KHz. (analog meter). Now that we have the transmit
working OK, not great but OK, we will start on receiver.
More to follow.
