Sep 20, 2016 at 12:12 comment added Phil Frost - W8II I'm pretty sure the link above describes a GMSK modem sending Codec 2 encoded voice, though he does say running it through an FM radio didn't perform very well. The D-STAR modem isn't patented and has open-source implementations, and also a data-only mode. You could theoretically run Codec 2 over D-STAR, though I'd guess D-STAR's data rate is well in excess of what's required by Codec 2.

Sep 19, 2016 at 22:46 comment added Skyler 440 Codec2 uses FSK. This MAY work over VHF, but the problem is you have to modulate over SSB or it will underperform FM if you try to send it over FM modulation. GMSK modems, however, tend to perform well over FM modulation, and DSTAR users can build a node with a DVboard and an FM transceiver discriminator/flat audio. I would really love to see something like codec2 which uses GMSK.
Sep 19, 2016 at 20:51 comment added Phil Frost - W8II Some experiments have been done with codec2 on VHF. I've never tried it personally though, nor have I heard of anyone who has. The amateur radio hobby seems to be divided between people who get on the air a lot with whatever equipment the manufacturers give them, and experimenters that build new radios and technology but rarely get on the air. So I'm not sure anything will ever come of it :-)
