gMFSK, a Gnome Multimode HF Terminal, provides a comprehensive software solution for digital conversational modes on HF bands within Linux and Unix-like operating systems. The application facilitates sending and receiving various digital modes, including MFSK (MFSK16 and MFSK8), RTTY, THROB (1, 2, and 4 throbs/sec), PSK31 (BPSK and QPSK), PSK63, and MT63. It leverages the computer's soundcard for transceiver interfacing, performing all digital signal processing on the main CPU. The software features a multimode waterfall display incorporating waterfall, spectrum, and scope views, enabling _point-and-click tuning_ of decoded signals. Remote logging capabilities are supported via SysV IPC, with integration for logging applications like Xlog. PTT control is managed through serial or parallel port lines, and rig control is implemented using the _Hamlib_ library, allowing for real-time frequency display and transceiver manipulation. Fixtext macros can incorporate variables and command-line output. Distributed under the GNU General Public Licence, version 2, gMFSK requires Gnome libraries and FFTW 2.x libraries for operation, even without a full Gnome desktop environment. The software's design ensures compatibility with any soundcard supported by the operating system.

Windows open source packet radio decoder. Decodes AFSK1200, AFSK2400, HAPN4800, and FSK9600 packet data with a radio connected to your pc sound device.

Next Generation Beacon hardware platform encompasses both analog and digital modes, i.e. CW FSK and MGM in a mixed mode configuration. The advantage of the mixed mode is that humans can decode the CW FSK by ear and the MGM can be decoded by computers way below what is audible. Therefore the MGM can be used for pre-human-conditions or early warning monitoring.

How to modify your scanner or receiver with a discriminator output. If you want to decode and monitor digital (FSK and PSK) systems seriously, a discriminator tap is an absolute prerequisite.

Ground Station offers real-time satellite tracking and radio communication capabilities, primarily for amateur radio operators engaged in satellite operations. It utilizes **TLE data** from sources like CelesTrak and SatNOGS for precise orbital prediction and integrates with various SDR devices, including RTL-SDR, SoapySDR, and UHD/USRP radios, to receive live signals. The software provides automated antenna rotator control and **Hamlib-compatible** rig control with Doppler correction, crucial for maintaining signal lock on fast-moving LEO satellites. It supports IQ recording in SigMF format and decodes several digital modes such as SSTV, FSK, GFSK, GMSK, and BPSK with AX25 USP Geoscan framing. Dedicated interfaces are available for satellite tracking, SDR waterfall displays with live transcription and packet decoding, and telemetry packet viewing. Users can manage TLE data synchronization and SDR hardware, along with browsing decoded outputs through an integrated file browser. An observations dashboard and DSP topology view further enhance the operational experience, providing comprehensive tools for monitoring and analyzing satellite passes.

The Olivia digital mode, a **Multi-Frequency Shift Keying (MFSK)** radioteletype protocol, is specifically engineered for robust communication under difficult propagation conditions on shortwave radio bands from 3 MHz to 30 MHz. Developed by Pawel Jalocha in 2003, Olivia signals can be decoded even when the noise amplitude exceeds the digital signal by over ten times, making it highly effective for transmitting ASCII characters across noisy channels with significant fading and propagation phasing. Early on-the-air tests by Fred OH/DK4ZC and Les VK2DSG on the Europe-Australia 20-meter path demonstrated intercontinental contacts with as little as one-watt RF power under favorable conditions. Common Olivia modes are designated as X/Y, where X represents the number of tones and Y is the bandwidth in Hertz, with examples including 8/250, 16/500, and 32/1000. The resource clarifies that Olivia, unlike some other digital modes, produces a constant envelope, allowing RF power amplifiers to achieve greater conversion efficiencies and making it less prone to non-linearity. Operators are advised that **Automatic Level Control (ALC)** can be set higher than no meter movement for MFSK modulation, as long as it's not driven past its high limit, contrary to common misinformation about other digital modes. The Olivia community encourages voluntary channelization on suggested calling frequencies, such as 14.0725 MHz for 8/250, to facilitate initial contacts, especially for signals below the noise floor. The Olivia Digital DXers Club provides links to Groups.io, Facebook, and Discord for community engagement and offers details on QSO parties.
