Digital Voice on HF an idea

One of the big issues with technology like D-Star and the AOR ARD9000. Is that both of them use the propraitary AMBE codec.

To me the issue here is that with a closed codec, once can’t use the advances in computing power to do a lot of the hard work in software. Instead one has to buy expensive hardware (not to knock hardware, I still prefer hardware musical synthesizers.)

There appears to be one free codec that is called Speex, now to work out how to do the rest.

Don’t know if I’m out of my depth, anyway it will be fun trying.
