A waterfall plot for FT8 signals (bandwidth 50 Hz) in the 40-meter band and for JT65 on the right (bandwidth 180 Hz) Joe Taylor, K1JT, announced on June 29, 2017, the availability of a new mode in the WSJT-X software, FT8. [11] FT8 stands for "Franke-Taylor design, 8-FSK modulation" and was created by Joe Taylor, K1JT and Steve Franke, K9AN.
A waterfall display showing FT8 in use on the 40-meter band.. FT8 (short for Franke-Taylor design, 8-FSK modulation) is a frequency shift keying digital mode of radio communication used by amateur radio operators worldwide.

[5] [6] The website takes its name from the popular amateur radio digital mode PSK31 and supports numerous digital modes, [7] [8] [9] but now the vast majority of digital modes recorded by the service are FT8 traffic. [10] Most traffic recorded on PSK Reporter is in the HF amateur radio bands but the platform also supports MF, VHF, and UHF bands.
Fldigi (short for Fast light digital) [4] is a free and open-source program which allows an ordinary computer's sound card to be used as a simple two-way data modem.The software is mostly used by amateur radio operators who connect the microphone and headphone connections of an amateur radio SSB or FM transceiver to the computer's headphone and microphone connections, respectively.
Morse code is called the original digital mode. Radio telegraphy, designed for machine-to-machine communication is the direct on / off keying of a continuous wave carrier by Morse code symbols, often called amplitude-shift keying or ASK, may be considered to be an amplitude modulated mode of communications, and is rightfully considered the first digital data mode.
The software code is now open source and is developed by a small team. The program is designed for sending and receiving low-power transmissions to test propagation paths on the MF and HF bands. WSPR implements a protocol designed for probing potential propagation paths with low-power transmissions.
The IC-7100 allows for connection to a computer over USB which enables the radio to be used for popular digital modes such as FT8, Winlink, and Packet Operation. [3] Locations of nearby repeaters and sending APRS locations can be done with an optional GPS receiver attachment. [1] Notable features that the IC-7100 lacks is an internal antenna ...
