FreeDV 2.0.0 has been released, containing the first official release of the RADE V1 mode previously trialled over several preview releases. Radio Autoencoder (RADE) technology is a new approach to sending speech over HF radio. It combines Machine Learning (ML) with classical DSP to send high quality speech over HF radio at SNRs as low as -2dB in a bandwidth of 1500 Hz. More information about Radio Autoencoder can be found at https://freedv.org/radio-autoencoder/.
As part of this effort, deprecated modes (700C, 800XA, 2020 and 2020B) have been removed from the application. Additionally, this contains numerous bug fixes and non-RADE specific enhancements from the last official release (1.9.9.2).
