WPSD-M17 Community Fork

I assume that word has already gotten around in the ham radio community that several digital voice projects have decided to remove support for M17 from their code relatively simultaneously. This concerns, for example, WPSD, Pi-Star and MMDVM. I will not express any opinion here and will stay out of political matters. The fact is that many radio amateurs now suddenly no longer have M17 functionality in their hotspots and were locked out of M17 as a result. Repeater operators are also affected. For more information, please read this excellent post over at Zero Retries.

The M17 team has therefore decided to create a fork of the popular WPSD digital voice distribution. It is certainly not a perfect solution, but it can be seen as an interim solution to get QRV again and create a better solution.

The new WPSD image with M17 functionality can be downloaded here: http://m17project.org/wpsd/.

Please be aware that it has been released as PUBLIC BETA!
