Ribbit digital text messaging mode for HF/VHF/UHF

Ribbit is a novel digital text messaging mode for VHF/UHF communications for recreational and emergency use which radically increases the density of information transmitted by spectrum used. It leverages the computing power of the modern smartphone to increase the capabilities of any Handy Talkie without requiring any additional hardware or cable. A Ribbit message is fixed in duration at 1250 milliseconds. It is sent over audio modulation with a 2kHz bandwidth centered on 1.5kHz. It is preceded by 400ms of white noise to open analog squelch circuits.
