While I'd really like to support Jerry at Connect Systems, his CS800D
model has several issues he's never addressed. The microphone issue I'm
dealing with on two of my units, he won't even acknowledge there is a
problem when it is well documented on multiple forums for his radios.
I'm glad he's supporting M17, I'm just real leery about giving him any
more of my money

Colleagues,
Good afternoon. Just read in this week's Peruvian Radioclub
newsletter that Connect Systems has started shipping the first radios
to use the M17 open source protocol. As you may know, this is the
much awaited promise to make an alternative open source digital mode
for modes like DSTAR and system Fusion.
The CS7000 M17 is an HT transceiver that executes the M17 protocol.
This is the webpage from Connect Systems on this DMR radio if you’re
interested:
https://www.connectsystems.com/products/top/radios/CS7000_M17.htm
And.. this is the M17 project page if you’re keen:
https://m17project.org/
So with the advent of this HT and with the popularity of the hackable
Quangsheng K6 uvK5(8), it seems that hackable and open source radios
may be the 'shape of things to come’. Possibly. Either way, it’s a
great time to be in our hobby!
Thought that you might find this interesting.
73,
Stephen (W2WF)
