What is the viability of using FreeDV over the AllStar link network, or maybe an AllStar backbone? First, does codec2 (which is what freestar uses) work on FM? What would be the bandwidth requirements, discriminator required? , narrowband etc..... Second, how hard would it be to develop something where analog and FreeDV users can talk to each other through the network? I think it is the time to make a move on open source, experimental encouraging, digital. Any thoughts / comments on FreeDV in general or any other digital modes? 73 Skyler KD0WHB
Try it and see... it will be interesting to see if it comes out intact thru the codecs used by Asterisk. On Tue, Sep 29, 2015 at 3:46 PM, Skyler Fennell <electricity440@gmail.com> wrote:

<-- You can try it out on Allstar node 2200, which is bridged to D-STAR reflector XRF005A. There are a few other reflectors that offer the same bridging between networks. Remember... these are reflectors, they do not make outbound calls - so he who connects, connects because he wants to! Cheers, Ramesh, VA3UV
as you're finding out, it is WAY easy to confuse: freedv dstar freestar i'll talk about freedv freedv over fm would be just like psk31 over fm. no good reason other than to try and see what it's like. freedv via ssb is nice and narrow so using it via fm either 5 or 2.5 deviation wouldn't "bring anything to the table". as for bridging, think how freedv works as intended, then swap out the headphones/mic for a usb dongle on your allstar server on its own node that is connected to a "normal" node. freestar bridged to allstar. good luck kb0wlf On Tue, Sep 29, 2015 at 5:46 PM, Skyler Fennell <electricity440@gmail.com> wrote:
