[aprssig] Interesting Findings - 300 Baud AX.25 on VHF-FM APRS

[John Wiseman]

Unfortunately DireWolf doesn't implement the UZ7HO FEC mode.

I did start trying to implement his FEC mode in C so it could run on a PI or
one of the modern cheap but powerful embedded devices (eg the Nucleo
F446RE), but didn't get very far. I haven't given up, but other projects are
getting in the way!

Use a RPI with DireWolf software and a 5$ USB sound fob.  No waterfall but
otherwise equivalent.   I've heard uz7ho runs on Linux under WINE but that
would probably require an Intel CPU.

With these options available now, it's interesting to consider just which
alternate modes we should try.

Without a display, the power consumption and physical size could easily be
cut in half.
