Digital Communication
Recommended Software
Specific Modes Require Specific Software:
Notes:
What makes sound card communication possible is the necessary software. A number of software packages have evolved to do the job. In fact, there are so many software packages that I have not had an opportunity to try each and every one of them.
I feel confident in recommending the first package list here, Stream. It has a very comprehensive website, and is a freeware package. When I began operating in MFSK16, I used Stream. I still have that available on my computer. It works very well everytime I switch it on. And for a $ 50 registration fee, you can have MixW, the do-it-all soundcard digital program. MixW will do everything, but most important are HF and VHF packet, and MFSK16. It will also do a number of modes used in Army and Navy MARS. It will even monitor HF Pactor. It is very powerful and flexible. AGWPE is an interesting package developed for packet radio. Consider it also if that will help you.
