This comprehensive video explains the concept behind amateur radio digital modes and describes the hardware and cabling required to get started. This video lays the groundwork for future, in-depth videos that will demonstrate RTTY, PSK31, JT65, and Winlink.
I explain the audio cables that are required for those who want to make their own cables. I also show the inner workings of a Signalink box and recommend that most people purchase a Signalink or Rig Blaster external sound card in order to resolve the audio and push-to-talk cabling issues.
I Love that you have a little bit of history and humor– really enjoyable to learn?
I prefer ANBDVT.?
Chapter 4 is useless…!

Excellent videos. Just getting into digital modes, and I find your tutorials to be very helpful. Information is well explained but not watered down. Very nice job and thank you so much for posting these. de KD8JHC?
great video.. I have to pause the video on the VoX examples. Loved it, and this was most informative. I got a used FT-897 and need to hook it up.?
Loved the video. Thanks for the easy explanation. It is all making sense now.?
You guys are making Ham Radio so complicated and computerized it's not fun anymore….what happened to the days when we could just buy a radio, get our license, put up an antenna and start talking….You might as well get you a facebook account and talk on your computer….Usually in the end technology does not always make things better….In the end it will be the downfall of mankind as it is doing right now with all aspects of life…Good Luck and God Bless?
So do you have to open that box and put wires in it to the proper pins or does it just work??
Great explanation. Subscribed. 73's from KB3VQT?
"Incompetent mimes" – Haha – thanks for making this video. I'm just getting started in digital and CW, and this is very helpful.?
as a mic shy ham I love jt-65. takes the panic out of a qso I experience when trying to think of what to say and makes the most of my available power. :)?
Hi Cliff. Great video. I am already using JT65, but dropped by to watch this anyway to see what tips I could pick up to solve a problem that I have with my setup. I can send and receive digital, but I think I have a problem with the USB line from the rig (IC7410) to my computer. I noticed you have a square ferrite on your USB cable and wonder if that could solve my problem of communications between my rig and my computer being disrupted. For example, I run HRO CAT to control PTT but sometimes HRO loses control of the rig and forces me to reconnect. I'm thinking that there must be some RF on the USB line. Any thoughts??
Wow you are awesome thank you?
Thanks for this video. I've been wanting to try digital, but wasn't sure how to get started. Looks like it's time to get my Kenwood TS-140S on digital modes!?
Excellent! Thanks for this video. Greetings from CP1OX Bolivia?
