On +receive, the signal is received by the SSB radio, then demodulated and +decoded by FreeDV. + +FreeDV was built by an international team of Radio Amateurs working +together on coding, design, user interface and testing. FreeDV is open +source software, released under the GNU Public License version +2.1. The FDMDV modem and Codec 2 Speech codec used in FreeDV are also +open source. |
