via Amateur Radio Daily: M17 Foundation Responds to Statements made by MMDVM Project Maintainer

The M17 Foundation has responded to a number of grievances and rumors expressed by Jonathan Naylor (G4KLX), the maintainer of the MMDVM project. Along with dropping M17 support from the MMDVM project earlier this week, G4KLX posted statements critical of the M17 Project’s management and technical implementation.

The response from M17 is a point-by-point rebuttal of G4KLX’s statements.

With M17 support removed from MMDVM, amateur radio operators potentially lose access to the M17 digital voice mode via hotspots and repeaters.

The M17 Project is an open source digital voice and data protocol that is positioned as an alternative to digital modes that require use of proprietary encoders.

MMDVM is an open source project that enables amateur radio hotspots to support multiple digital voice modes including D-STAR, DMR, YSF, P25, NXDN, and POCSAG.
