It is my understanding that Allstar is really not welcome on D-Star. Is that just repeaters? The purists don't want to mix analog with digital. Like Mototrbo and NexEdge.

I am not talking about DSTAR, I am talking about FreeDV, the digital mode, and the viability of making AllStar link a system which mixes analog FM with the open digital mode. On Tue, Sep 29, 2015 at 5:17 PM, R. Wayne <allstar@controlservers.net> wrote:

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?
