| Time | Talk | Presenter |
| 9:15 | Introduction and TAPR Update | Steve Bible, N7HPR, TAPR President |
| 9:25 | Beyond open HPSDR: Hermes and the
Future Hermes is the latest addition to the openHPSDR stable of boards. Here is an in-depth look at openHPSDR Hermes and a glimpse of future openHPSDR projects. |
Scotty Cowling, WA2DFI |
| 9:50 | Embedded DSP for PC-less SDR
Self-contained radios have been standard since the mid-1920s. Why should SDRs be different? For many applications -- especially portable operation -- not having to lug a PC around, or try and read its screen in bright ambient light, or depend on a laptop's battery charge level can be decided benefits. Advances in DSP technology allow self-contained, highly-portable SDRs that provide many hours of operation on small, internal battery packs. |
Lyle Johnson, KK7P |
| 10:15 | Time and Frequency Update
After some down time, the TAPR T&F project list is moving forward. This presentation will discuss the new TADD-2 Mini frequency divider that is now shipping, and will give a glimpse of new products in the pipeline. |
John Ackermann, N8UR |
| 10:40 | CODEC 2 Codec2 is an open source low bit rate speech codec designed for communications quality speech at 2400 bit/s and below. Applications include low bandwidth HF/VHF digital radio and VOIP trunking. Codec 2 operating at 2000 bit/s can send 32 phone calls using the bandwidth required for one 64 kbit/s uncompressed phone call. It fills a gap in open source, free-as-in-speech voice codecs beneath 5000 bit/s and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). |
