It already existed in the form of a chip that does AMBE, and \nit IS cheap (less than $20) ...\n\nEven if ham radio had waited for an Open Source Vocoder, we still \nwould not have it and certainly not in chip form.\n\nOther manufacturers CAN get the chip, there is no lock on it. In \nfact, Kenwood makes a D-STAR radio in Japan, like the ID-1 ...\n\nThat being said, I know that Bruce Perens is pushing for an Open \nSource standard for HF and VHF (different ones if necessary) and I \nagree we should work towards that goal. That does not mean that we \nshould categorically ignore D-STAR ... as others have pointed out, \nalmost EVERY development in radio was patented, and in comparison, \nthis is nothing. If I recall correctly, people had to pay royalties \nto build regenerative receivers, and that didn't stop anyone.\n\nYour mileage may vary ...\n\nDave\n\nVE3GYQ/W8\nSpencerville, OH\n\n",
