Raspberry Pi’s are great for MMVDMs.
An MMVDM (MultiMode Voice and Data Modem) is a device or software that supports multiple digital modes used in amateur radio communications. These modes can include various forms of data and voice transmission, and the MMVDM allows for versatile communication across different digital protocols.
M17 is a new open source digital mode being added to the amateur radio communication spectrum. It's designed to be a free and open digital radio protocol, focusing on simplicity and efficiency. M17 aims to offer a viable alternative to proprietary digital modes, with an emphasis on voice communication.
By being open source, it encourages community involvement and innovation, allowing radio enthusiasts and developers to contribute to its development and improvement. The addition of M17 to devices like MMVDMs broadens the capabilities of these devices, giving users more options for digital communication.
