HamScope v1.56, released on 2007-03-20, functions as a multi-mode communications interface for amateur radio, supporting digital modes such as PSK31 (BPSK and QPSK), RTTY, ASCII, MFSK16, PACKET, and CW. The software integrates with external engines like _MMTTY_ for RTTY/ASCII and AGWPE for PACKET operation. It features a panoramic waterfall display, 42 user-programmable macro buttons, and user-definable function key mappings, providing operators with enhanced control during digital mode operations. The program includes a radio control interface compatible with several ICOM, TenTec, Kenwood, and Yaesu transceivers, enabling direct rig control. HamScope also establishes data links with various logging and radio control applications, including LOGic 7/8, DXbase 2004, RYLogit, and TRX-Manager, facilitating seamless data exchange and logging. A DDE server is available for custom connections. Designed for Windows 98 and NT, HamScope requires a 133 MHz Pentium-class machine and 16-bit SVGA color. While not officially supported, users have reported functionality on Windows 95, ME, XP, and 2000, though some issues with window settings or the MMTTY engine may occur. The software is distributed as a single executable file, with separate downloads required for MMTTY and AGWPE engines.

MMTTY V1.70K, released June 4, 2017, provides a full 3.5MB installation for RTTY operations on Windows platforms including XP, Vista, and Win7. The software, developed by JE3HHT, utilizes a soundcard for RTTY decoding and encoding, with support for external FSK keying via parallel or serial ports, including USB serial adapters. An MMTTY Engine V1.70K is also available, specifically designed for integration into other commercial amateur radio programs requiring RTTY functionality. Older versions such as MMTTY V1.68A (September 29, 2010) and MMTTY V1.66G are accessible, alongside a non-installer version (MMTTY168A-i.zip) for experienced users. The resource includes an updated ARRL.DX file for callsign lookup and offers a comprehensive 18MB PDF help file for offline viewing or download. Support for the software is directed to a group.io community. MMTTY integrates with **COMFSK** and **EXTFSK/EXTFSK64** for precise FSK keying, enabling direct radio control. The site also hosts MMJARTS V1.03, a 254KB utility released September 6, 2002, which generates log and summary sheets specifically for the JARTS RTTY contest, linking to the official JARTS website for contest information.

Digital Master 780 is a windows multi-mode program which uses Ham Radio Deluxe for radio control. It is part of HRD package and support PSK, QPSK, Contestia, CW, DominoEx, Hell, MFSK, MT63, OLIVIA, RTTY, RTTYM, THROB and SSTV. Free version was made available with HRD 5.

AirLink Express is a user friendly digital mode software package for the Amateur Radio Operator. The software is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Vista. It offers PSK, MFSK and RTTY digital modes with logging and macro capabilities. If you have ever used the Digipan software you will be immediately familiar with Airlink Express. The user interface is almost identical by Alex Krist, KR1ST

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.

Stream is a software that implements MFSK16 and MFSK8 modes designed by me and Murray Greenman ZL1BPU. It also offers a series of experimental modes based on FEC, interleaving and several modulation techniques (PSK, QPSK, MSK).

Olivia MFSK digital communications are becoming popular in amateur radio because Olivia is one of the most robust methods of text keyboarding, that can perform superbly for long distance communications. Olivia frequencies, format and software

PSK Express is a replacement for YGPSK, it is multi-mode and will allow you to use PSK, RTTY or MFSK at various speeds. Requires .Net framework and run under windows, freeware.

Fifty-three digital modes, including PSK31, RTTY, and JT65, are explored in this resource, providing detailed descriptions of their underlying technologies and typical use cases. It covers error correction methods like ARQ in PACTOR and FEC in JT65, alongside modulation schemes such as FSK and PSK. The content highlights the evolution of digital communication from traditional TNC-based systems to modern sound card implementations, emphasizing the role of personal computers in advancing these modes. Specific modes like AMTOR, PACTOR, and G-TOR are discussed, noting their baud rates and error correction capabilities. For instance, AMTOR operates at 100 baud, while PACTOR offers 200 baud with Huffman compression. The article also delves into newer modes like MFSK16, which uses 16 tones and continuous Forward Error Correction, and Olivia, capable of decoding signals 10-14 dB below the noise floor. Each mode's bandwidth, speed, and resilience to propagation challenges are examined, such as MT63's 1 KHz bandwidth and 100 WPM rate, or Hellschreiber's 75 Hz bandwidth and 35 WPM text rate. The resource also lists predominant USA HF digital frequencies for bands like 160, 80, and 40 meters, specifying segments for PSK31, RTTY, SSTV, and Packet. It includes links to freeware and shareware sound card software such as Digipan, FLDigi, and MixW, enabling amateurs to experiment with these modes.

The N7YG Digital Engine, functions as a streamlined digital modem, supporting **PSK**, **RTTY**, and **MFSK** modes. It eliminates many ancillary logging and awards features found in other software, focusing instead on providing a dedicated digital interface. The software is specifically engineered to complement the N3FJP logging suite, offering a simple digital modem with a floating waterfall display that can coexist on the same screen as the logger. The application includes support for PSK Reporter, EXTFSK, TinyFSK, and K1EL Winkey FSK, enhancing its utility for various digital operations. Key features comprise a separate waterfall window, a main GUI with operational controls, receive and transmit display areas, and 10 Macro Buttons across 10 user-definable macro banks, totaling 100 macros for general and contesting use. Configuration options include sound card selection, digital gain (0-32767), AFC Level (0-100), AFC Width (in Hz), and COM Port TX keying for VOX/SignaLink or direct port control. Input and Output Mixer buttons provide direct access to OS audio mixer controls for precise level adjustments. The software is digitally signed with a security certificate, aiming to prevent conflicts with antivirus programs.
