My PSK31 and DIGITAL MODE page
So you've got a computer in the shack, it might be old but that doesn't matter. The soundcard works as well, OK there's no stopping you now! You're nearly on the road to working the world using the new ( for me anyway! ) digital data modes running very little power if you wish and using tiny segments of the band if you use the amazing PSK 31 mode.
I must say that over the last few months I have become addicted to PSK 31, SSTV and most of the other 'designer modes' as well. I've worked stations from far and wide using low power and my doublet antenna. I use the excellent MixW software for the digital modes and the equally outstanding MMSSTV for slow scan TV. Both are available as free downloads ( MixW demo), find them from the links below. Lots of other software for the different modes are freely available too. An internet search for the likes of MFSK, HELLSCHREIBER and MT63 will point you in the right direction to the free software! The links below will explain all you need to know about PSK and SSTV. They will provide the info you need to get your digital mode station up and running....you will have fun I promise!
If you become addicted like me and wish to know more about it all, then purchase 'DIGITAL MODES FOR ALL OCCASIONS' by Murrray Greenman, ZL1BPU, you can order this from the RSGB. This is essential reading for the digi mode enthusiast!
