Mooneer’s FreeDV Update – January 2025

This month was spent firming up the preview release that just came out. This involved fixing various bugs discovered by the RADE test team, such as various crashes that began occurring during the implementation of SNR and RADE text support (required for FreeDV Reporter to fully work with RADE). Audio quality was also improved and the transmission of the End Of Over (EOO) block was also made more reliable, ensuring that users reported received signals to FreeDV Reporter and PSK Reporter more often.

Speaking of PSK Reporter, this is the worldwide map of activity over the last 24 hours as a result of this work, indicating heavy interest in RADE and FreeDV more generally:

For February, the focus is going to be on promoting the work we’ve done as a project. We’ll be at Orlando HamCation in just a few days (North Hall, booth 119, as well as a talk given by me on Friday February 7th at 3:30pm)–hope to see you all there!
