2019年10月11日 · FT8 is one of a group of Multiple Frequency-Shift Keying (MFSK) modes that include JT9, JT65 and MSK144 created by Joe Taylor, K1JT and co-developers. Why would I want to operate FT8? FT8 is designed to maximize communication even when signals are very weak (as low as -24dB).

FT8 (short for Franke-Taylor design, 8-FSK modulation) is a frequency shift keying digital mode of radio communication used by amateur radio operators worldwide.

With FT8, you’re restricted to very small messages, with a limit of 13 characters per message. Here is a typical conversation over FT8: Each message of up to 13 characters takes 13 seconds to send. There are 4 slots per minute, and you transmit for one 15 second block, then listen for replies for 15 seconds, and transmit again for 15 seconds.

FT8 is a popular digital mode used by ham radio operators to make long-distance radio contact. It stands for “Franke-Taylor design, 8-FSK modulation” and uses a transmission method called "8-frequency shift keying" to encode information.

2022年4月20日 · FT4 and FT8 are weak-signal-condition digital protocols designed for rapid, accurate communication between amateur radio stations. Information exchanged in a contact typically consists of call signs, four-character Maidenhead locators, signal reports, and acknowledgments.

2022年3月10日 · Joe Taylor, K1JT, announced the availability of a new mode in the WSJT-X software suite, FT8, on June 29, 2017. Created by K1JT and Steve Franke, K9AN, FT8 stands for “Franke-Taylor design, 8-FSK modulation.” WSJT-X is a computer program used for weak-signal radio communication between hams.

2019年10月7日 · FT8 “Franke-Taylor design, 8-FSK modulation” is an Amateur Radio Digital Mode that belongs to the family of weak-signals communication protocols, developed and promoted by K1JT Joe Taylor.

FT8 is a digital mode used in amateur radio that is designed for efficient and reliable communication in weak signal conditions. It is a relatively new mode, having been first introduced in 2017. FT8 uses a fast 8-frequency shift keying (8-FSK) digital modulation scheme and a short message format, allowing for quick exchanges and the ability to ...

Are you interested in exploring the world of digital modes in amateur radio? FT8 is a popular and efficient mode for making contacts, even under challenging band conditions. In this guide, we'll walk you through the essential software and hardware needed to …

2024年1月12日 · FT8, standing for “Franke-Taylor design, 8-FSK modulation,” is a digital mode specifically designed for amateur radio communication on shortwave bands. Developed by Nobel Prize laureate Joe Taylor, K1JT, and Steven Franke, K9AN, FT8 has rapidly gained popularity since its introduction in 2017.
