There is a need for a D-Star vocoder emulator by the ham community for those who host cloud based bridges for digital voice modes.

If your a ham with this talent or know of one, the community would appreciate your efforts,

It should work similarly to the md380-emu tool by Travis (KK4VCZ) that folks have been using for DMR and the other modes.
