What is PSK ham radio?
PSK stands for phase shift keying, and 31 represents the 31.25-baud rate of the signal — about regular typing speed. It also uses a new coding system for characters, called Varicode, that has a different number of bits for different characters, not unlike Morse code.
What is JS8 call?
JS8Call (JS8) is an amateur radio QSO communication mode based on FT8. It is popular among amateur radio operators for its ability to send and receive messages despite challenging propagation conditions, high noise environments, low power operations (QRP), or even compromised antennas.
How do you transmit RTTY?
You have to get audio (the RTTY tones) from your sound card to either the mic input or audio input on an accessory jack to your radio. And you must be able to key PTT on the radio to turn the transmitter on.
What does the 31 mean in PSK31?
The 31 in PSK31 refers to the speed at which data is sent; in this mode, at about 31 bits-per-second. PSK31 archives its weak-signal performance as a result of two factors. First, a PSK31 signal is narrow, being about 31 Hz wide. Second, the structure of Varicode allows the receiving computer to anticipate the times for each data bit.
What is PSK31 Deluxe?
PSK31 Deluxe is a PSK31 and PSK63 program for novices and power users. It has been replaced by Digital Master 780 and is now a legacy product. The last version of PSK31 Deluxe was shipped with the HRD 4.0 SP4 kit and is no more availabe and supported.

What are the system requirements for PSK31 signals?
The only major requirement for the computer used to send and receive the PSK31 signals is that it contain a soundcard. As a rule, a faster CPU and more memory are desired, however PSK31 will work on virtually any PC equipped with an internal or external soundcard.
