Do we need a DSP chip modem ?

I have my own low bit rate HF capable position/ aprs reporting modem etc but I was thinking at FT8, given the widespread use, would make a good replacement for FSK300 (which is dumb arse poorly suited with no FEC on HF), and that the decoders allow for multiple simultaneous overlapping transmissions in the same BW.


doing a port for dire wolf would be fairly straightforward.
