Ribbit digital text messaging mode for HF/VHF/UHF - Ribbit is a novel digital text messaging mode for VHF/UHF communications for recreational and emergency use which radically increases the density of information transmitted by spectrum used. It leverages the computing power of the modern smartphone to increase the capabilities of any Handy Talkie without requiring any additional hardware or cable. A Ribbit message is fixed in duration at 1250 milliseconds. It is sent over audio modulation with a 2kHz bandwidth centered on 1.5kHz. It is preceded by 400ms of white noise to open analog squelch circuits.

Optimizing TX/RX Levels in WSJT-X - Exploring digital radio modes, the author rethinks how to adjust transmit and receive levels in WSJT-X. Despite effective communication using Yaesu's settings, a new procedure aims for better performance. For RX, set audio device levels to 100%, disable AGC, and adjust RF gain. For TX, enable "Remember power settings" and adjust power output to avoid ALC engagement. This method ensures reliable communication without signal degradation, enhancing dynamic range and minimizing noise.
