The FreeDV project recently came back from Orlando, FL, where it had a booth in the North Hall at Orlando HamCation. At the booth, we had a demo of the RADE work we’ve been working on, including two headsets (one playing “analog” audio as what would be transmitted through a microphone and the other playing receive audio after being transmitted and received using RADE). We additionally had internet access in the booth so we were able to show a live view of FreeDV Reporter:
Over the course of the weekend, we had significant interest in the FreeDV booth. On top of that, nearly everyone who listened to the RADE demo were impressed by the audio quality, especially when compared to the existing state of the art in digitial voice.
Additionally, Mooneer K6AQ gave a talk about RADE on Friday afternoon of the hamfest. For those who missed the talk or want to refer back to the slides, they’re available in PDF format below:
