The Radio Amateur's Digital Communications Handbook

By Jonathan L. Mayo

Book Overview

Ham radio has come a long way since the days when amateurs used tube-type transmitters & receivers or pounded out Morse code on a telegraph key. Today, a modern ham shack will be equipped with at least one microcomputer & will take full advantage of state-of-the art digital communications technology. A powerful combination of conventional radio communications & fast, efficient microcomputer control, digital communications is the fastest growing area in amateur radio. Here, Jonathan Mayo provides a complete overview of digital communications for hams: its history, capabilities, & applications, as well as the protocols & procedures governing the various modes of operation. He also explains how to set up an operational digital communications station & what equipment & accessories are needed to furnish it.
