NAME¶
gmfsk - MFSK terminal for GNOME
SYNOPSIS¶
gmfsk
DESCRIPTION¶
gmfsk is a terminal for MFSK16, RTTY and Throb, three digital modulation
formats used on HF radio particularly by radio amateurs. MFSK is an acronym
for multi-tone frequency shift keying.
gmfsk demodulates signals received through the sound card and displays the
resulting text on the screen. In transmit mode, typed text is modulated and
transmitted through the sound card.
Circuits for connecting the sound card to a receiver or transceiver are readily
available on the web.
OPTIONS¶
Standard GNOME options may be used.
GMFSK must be configured through the "Settings" menu when first used.
NOTES¶
MFSK activity is commonly found around 14.080 MHz on the amateur 20m band.
Although GMFSK is free software, transmission of any signal and of MFSK, RTTY
and/or Throb signals in particular is subject to the laws of the government of
your country. Receiving on non-amateur frequencies may also be prohibited.
