Isn't digital voice just another fad like some of the new data modes?
I don't know much about it, but as a digital mode, I guess that you
get perfect copy until the signal falls below a certain level, after
which you don't hear anything at all. This seems to be counter to the
main ham radio interest of working weak DX stations. I understand
people's interest in experimenting, but don't see any real use for
digital voice on the HF bands. As an experimental mode it seems
inappropriate to support it directly within the K3.
