The Olivia transmission system is constructed of two layers: the lower, modulation layer is an (almost) classical Multi-Frequency Shift Keying (MFSK) and the higher layer is a Forward Error-Correcting (FEC) code based on Walsh functions.

CATSync V1.30 integrates OpenWebRX support, expanding its capability to synchronize a local amateur radio transceiver's CAT control with a broader range of public WebSDR receivers. The software facilitates real-time frequency tracking, allowing the operator to adjust their physical rig's VFO and observe the connected WebSDR instantly follow the tuned frequency. This functionality is crucial for remote listening, signal comparison, and verifying propagation conditions across different geographic locations using a familiar hardware interface. The application supports both the classical WebSDR interface and KiwiSDR platforms, providing a consistent control experience across various online SDR deployments. It bridges the gap between local station operation and the vast network of globally distributed software-defined radios, offering a practical tool for DXers and contesters. CATSync is designed for Windows and Linux environments, with Android compatibility noted, making it accessible to a wide user base seeking to leverage WebSDR resources with their existing station setup.

Demonstrates _FreeDV RADE_, an open-source digital voice mode for HF, which combines machine learning with classical Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to achieve improved speech quality and spectral efficiency. Released in June 2025 by ARDC grantee FreeDV, RADE operates at Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) as low as -2 dB and occupies approximately 1.5 kHz of bandwidth, half that of a typical SSB signal, while transmitting about 8 kHz of voice audio. The mode also features an optimized Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) for efficient power amplifier use, reducing heat and consumption. Users, such as _VK3TPM_, report significantly improved listening ease compared to analog modes, particularly in high HF noise environments, making it easier to conduct nets across various Australian states. The mode's integration into popular radios like the _FlexRadio 6000_ series allows direct operation without external computers. A C library for RADE is available, facilitating broader integration into other radios and SDR programs, with development continuing on FreeDV RADE v2 to further narrow bandwidth below 1 kHz.
