A RadioAmateur from Ardèche (FR) JN25hc, licensed about 30 years ago but practising only since 2019. I like digimode Hardware: Yaesu FTdx10, Yaesu FT-891, QRPver 20m, Yaesu FT-65, Kenwood TM-V71E Also on PMR446 : 14-FRS-3678 Debian and ArchLinux user

Actually, EmComm, in many situations, is based on licenced software such as VARA running only on Windows with a bought key. I think it’s time to try open source software.

OK, we do not speak about same users : you speak about population and I about emcomm teams. For sure, emcomm teams have to listen to population (I think about PMR446, LPD433, CB27, E channel…) in voice mode, but they need to build internal radio infrastructure to share information. Ribbit could be a brick of this solution :

  • easy to deploy
  • without specific hardware (compatible with what every amateur radio already has)
  • high density of information transmitted by spectrum used
  • logging messages
  • geolocation of messages
  • no internet connection needed
