C4FM

C4FM-Fusion is a system developed by YAESU. It is based on 4FSK (like DMR), and also transmits 4 frequencies with a total data rate of 9600 bits/s. It uses the same AMBE+ Codec as DMR, but needs only 3600 bits/s. The extra bits are used in C4FM-Fusion in a different way. They can be used for data transfer (e.g. GPS) but also for additional error correction to make the speech more stable during interference. There is also a mode (VW) for high speech quality which uses all bits for speech only.
