Your Patience is Appreciated!
A hearty welcome to all amateur radio operators, young and old. Thanks to the support of the guys at AmComm Network, we now have a centralized “common carrier” for all two-way digital modes.
While amateur radio digital modes have been in use for many decades, they continue to evolve. The latest digital text based modes are so advanced they enable communications over frequencies where even CW is unintelligible. Likewise, digital voice modes provide crystal clear communications across the entire range of useable signal level. It either works or it don’t with no noisy “in-between”.
Fusion (C4FM)
System Fusion (C4FM) was designed by Yaesu, who is the only manufacturer using this mode. Some Yaesu repeaters support both analog (FM) and digital (Fusion) modes.
D-Star
D-Star was developed in the late 90’s by the Japan Amateur Radio League and is an open standard created specifically for Amateur Radio. Icom is one manufacturer adopting D-star.
DMR
Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) is an open standard developed in Europe and is used in commercial products world-wide. Motorola’s implementation of this standard is MOTOTRBO.
NXDN
NXDN is an open standard intended for commercial mobile communications developed jointly by Icom and Kenwood. It is implemented by Icom as IDAS and by Kenwood as NEXEDGE.
TGIF
TGIF is very similar to AmComm and Brandmeister. Find more info at the TGIF Network FAQ Page
P25
Also known as APCO-25. This is a mode popular with Public Service grade radios.
IMRS
This is often confused with WIRES-X or C4FM. IMRS is a digital networking technology for DR-2X repeaters that links multiple C4FM System Fusion sites together via IP networks (internet or intranet). IMRS carries C4FM Fusion traffic from machine to machine.
WIRES-X
WIRES (Wide-coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System) is an Internet communication system which expands the range of amateur radio communication. For WIRES-X, an amateur node station connecting to the Internet is used as the access point and connects the wireless communication to the Internet. Users’ stations can communicate with other amateur stations all over the world using a node within the radio wave range.
ASL
“AllstarLink” is a worldwide VoIP-based network for amateur radio, linking repeaters, hotspots, and nodes via the internet. It allows users to connect to other systems globally using a Raspberry Pi, radio interface, and Linux-based software (Asterisk/app_rpt) to provide high-quality digital voice communication.
