• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

GMR-1 (AMBE derivative) codec

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to process audio from a GMR-1 (Thuraya) network. I know the codec is done by dvsinc and based on AMBE, at a 4kbps bitrate.

From the specs :

===
The speech encoder takes 16-bit uniform pulse code modulation (PCM) samples as input. One frame of encoded speech consists of two quantizer-frames, which each contain 80 bits. The encoded speech at the output of the voice encoder is delivered to the channel coding function defined in GMR-1 05.003 [2] to produce an encoded frame consisting of two quantizer-frames, each containing 104 bits. The vocoder therefore produces a gross bit rate of 5,2 kbps where 4,0 kbps are used for voice data and the remaining 1,2 kbps are used for error control.
===

The error control is known. So what's I'm looking for is how to convert the 80 bits (48 first class bits per quantizer-frame and 32 second class bits per quantizer-frame) into audio and vice & versa.

Any help is welcome.

Cheers,

Sylvain

Does anyone know how to contact the mbelib author ? That looks like my best shot ...
