Digital Modes Samples
Click on a digital mode below to hear a brief sample of the sound these modes make. Hopefully this page will help you identify a mode you've heard (or help me identify ones others have heard!).  Many folks have submitted excellent quality, lengthy files which are no trouble for me to accept, but I do generally drop the sampling rate and length to make them more reasonable to download over a slower line.  The intent here is more for recognition by ear than for signal analysis.  My page focuses on what hams call "Utility" modes or "Utes".  Additional amateur radio mode links are at the bottom of the page.
Send me your .wav files of digital modes not featured and I'll happily add it, paying credit where due. High sample rates and large files are encouraged.  Please include frequency and user info to help ID your sample. Your comments or clarifications are always welcome. Send mail to garyhahn@wi.rr.com.
