Report: Friedrichshafen HAM RADIO exhibition 2025

M17 Foundation had a neat, little booth at the Friedrichshafen HAM RADIO fair (A1-690). We showcased our open-source hardware, along with modified radios running OpenRTX: the Baofeng DM-1701 and TYT MD-380. The modified Nokia 3310/3330 and Remote Radio Unit brought most of the attention. Guests were offered a chance to test out the CS7000 handheld radio (one of the two COTS radios with M17 support) and Module17 1.0. Our friends at OpenRTX and ARDC had their stands right adjacent to ours.
