Because D-Star isn't amateur radio.

There is no experimentation involved, and can't be.

If the CODEC was open, or if the open CODEC ever comes to fruition,
would you have the knowledge / skills to undertake any meaningful
experimentation or even the remotest prospect of developing those
skills?


That doesn't matter, the point is someone will have and will do so. We
can't all do everything in amateur radio, but we should not prevent
those that want to do something in particular from being able to do it.

Exactly, so let those happy with DSTAR and the AMBE CODEC use it and enjoy
it.

You can do the same with your pet interests.

Win-Win.

I have no problem with allowing evolution to decide the future, it's a
good idea to make sure that some diversity evolves to allow that to
happen.

I just hope the RSGB is as keen to licence Codec2 based repeaters as it
has been to licence D-Star based ones.

Or will the Codec2 team have to give the RSGB huge prizes for their
Radcom competitions to get the same treatment?
