You can download the executable on the DUDE-Star GitHub project page and run the program.Īt the time that I am writing this article, there is no pre-compiled version for Linux and Mac OS. If you are a Windows user, this is your lucky day.
DUDE-Star uses the Qt-5 library for its graphical user interface and can be successfully built on Linux, Windows 2, and Mac OS. This software is open-source, developed on top of other open-source projects that are already part of Pi-Star, amongst others 1.
DUDE-Star includes a software IMBE and AMBE vocoder for encoding and decoding, but it can also use any AMBE3000 USB key. DUDE-Star is a software developed by Douglas McLain (AD8DP) that connects to D-STAR, Fusion, NXDN, P25, Allstar, and even to the new digital mode designed by and for ham radio operators: M17.
