[Elecraft] K3 Digital Voice Mode - our future?

[Richard Fjeld]

I was in to freeDV a year or two ago, and it has a long way to go. 
Still, it did work.

I'm told the bandwidth has increased since then from 1200 hertz to 1600 
hertz at present, which will be an improvement.
At 1200 hertz, voices sounded robotic in nature.  it lost sync often 
which may, or may not, have been due to the compression.

I haven't heard of the FCC's having ruled on it's mode and/or where if 
permitted.  I haven't been keeping up with it either.
