A Guide to Digital Modes
Consider the Many Advantages of Working Digital
Lots of fun "chat" modes like PSK31, Olivia & Feld-Hell. Olivia uses strong FEC (forward error correction) which enables excellent copy even with typically poor HF conditions.
Send & receive e-mail on HF with the Winlink 2000 system using WinMOR. An excellent way to stay in touch or take part in public service.
If you've never tried RTTY contesting you're missing out! Software RTTY modems like MMTTY enable you to snag the weak ones!
Free high-performance software modems like UZ7HO & Direwolf make operating HF packet networks much more reliable and fun. Check out 14.105 MHz LSB for a true RF connected multi-user packet network!
Talk over long distances without noise interference using a digital voice mode like FreeDV or FDMDV.
The Leader in Sound Card Interfaces
A RIGblaster is the easiest way to properly connect your radio to a computer so that you may operate using over 100 existing and future ham radio sound card software programs. You will be able to operate any sound card based digital mode that your radio could not otherwise operate.
