In other words, Digital Voice is dumb, Digital Data is smart, and the only ways to utilize digital data are explicitly NOT provided by the commercial manufacturers of amateur radio, but instead by Adafruit, Ubiquiti; HackRF, RFSpace, and USRP; and soon FaradayRF, among others."</em><br><br>Read Sterling's post at <br><a href="http://n0ssc.com/posts/583-millennials-are-killing-ham-radio" style="color:rgb(0,51,102);text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">http://n0ssc.com/posts/583-millennials-are-killing-ham-radio</a></p></div>
