RTTY/PSK31 for Radio Amateurs

Data modes appear to be a daunting prospect to newly licensed radio amateurs, but they don't have to be. "RTTY/PSK31 for Radio Amateurs" is a practical guide to the two most popular data modes, RTTY and PSK31. It's an expanded and fully updated 2nd edition—at 50 percent bigger that the 1st edition, there's no better guide to these data modes. Readers will find details of where to find data modes on the amateur bands, through getting started, to making the most from both these modes. DXpeditions and contests use these modes—and there's a lot of information on getting the best from these, too.

RTTY is the oldest real Data mode and was first used on the amateur bands over 50 years ago. In those days it was a complex mode to use, with teleprinters and homemade transmitters to modify. However, in the computer age it's much easier to both use and set up. This 48-page paperback provides all you need to know to get the most from this fascinating area of amateur radio. The free CD that accompanies the book has also been fully updated to provide a wealth of amateur radio data mode programs to get you started. You'll find reviews of equipment, lots of reference material, videos, web links, and essential reading for anybody interested in Data.
