Operating Modes

Various modes of communication in amateur radio

Amateur radio operating modes refer to the different methods hams use to communicate. From traditional Morse code to modern digital modes like FT8 and D-STAR, these modes allow radio amateurs to exchange messages, data, and even images. Each mode has its own unique characteristics and advantages, catering to different preferences and operating conditions. Understanding and utilizing these operating modes is essential for hams to maximize their communication capabilities and make the most out of their amateur radio experience.
