1 Clean Digital Signals Tutorial 8-May-2014 Nige Coleman, G7CNF Details of how to set up the Windows Volume Mixer gain levels correctly and how to make sure the signal sampling rates are correct. Although prepared for an SDR transceiver, the principles in this tutorial apply equally to the TS-590. A must-view for everyone transmitting digital signals
2 How to interface a sound card for Ham Radio 23-Sep-2007 Randy Hall, K7AGE A look at homebrew and commercial soundcard interfaces for PSK31, RTTY, SSTV and other digital modes
3 VAC: Installation and Initialisation of Virtual Audio Cable with PowerSDR Digi-Modes 27-Jul-2013 Nige Coleman, G7CNF Use of PowerSDR with digi-modes requires a means to interface the AFSK between the program and the hardware. Traditionally this is done with a hardware interface. In SDR this is no longer necessary and the AFSK can remain in the digital domain right up to the radio.
This video explores the installation and setting up of VAC and the relevent settings in PowerSDR and an example of how to set it up with the popular WSJT-X by Joe Taylor (JT65 and JT9)

5 Sounds of HF Radio - Digital Modes and other Unusual Sounds 26-Jun-2011 Gough Lui A collection of various digital modes used by utilities, mariners and amateur radio users. There are various modes such as XSL, TADIL, HFDL, Pactor, CW, HF Fax, Packet, JT, ALE, DRM, RTTY and various OFDM schemes
6 TCodec 2 - Open Source Speech Coding at 2400 bit/s and Below 19-Jan-2012 David Rowe Codec2 is an open source low bit rate speech codec designed for communications quality speech at around 2400 bit/s. Applications include low bandwidth HF/VHF digital radio and VOIP trunking. Codec 2 operating at 2000 bit/s can send 32 phone calls using the bandwidth required for one 64 kbit/s uncompressed phone call. It fills a gap in open source, free-as-in-speech voice codecs beneath 5000 bit/s and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
7 WinDRM HF QSO with K0PFX and K2MO LPC 10 CODEC
16-Mar-2011 Tony, K2MO WinDRM was developed by Cesco, HB9TLK from the broadcast standard known as Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM). It uses an open source encoder/decoder called DREAM. WinDRM provides an efficient and robust method to exchange information over HF including Digital Voice. It runs efficiently under Windows and does not require any transceiver modifications. It can be used with any SSB HF rig with a computer and sound card setup similar to what is used to run PSK31. A USB microphone headset is required for voice input / output
8 FreeDV, the new HF digital audio program for Radio Amateurs 10-Dec-2012 Bruce Perens Watch when it's switched to analog SSB. The SSB bandwidth is about 3 times that of the digital audio. Also note the diagonal black streaks across the waterfall display. That's fading, probably from two reflections arriving out of phase. There is a glitch when Tony goes to switch to SSB. maybe feedback on his side. The ID on the bottom is coming in during the silent periods between wordsfreedv

15 FT-8, The New HF/6m Digital Mode, Introduction For Beginners 30-Jul-2017 Eric, KJ4YZI Here is a new digital mode that comes to you from the makers of JT-9 and JT-65.. Called FT-8 (Franke-Taylor design, 8FSK modulation). A weak signal mode that is not as sensitive to JT-65/9 but definitely something that will work when voice and CW will not. This is an introduction to someone who has never heard of it, or never has used JT-65 before. It may not be for everyone, but everyone should try it. [Additional note: make sure you use the latest version/release candidate of the software. At present (September 2017) the current version is RC 2]
