MFSK

ARRL Technical Information Service page · TIS Menu page

Introduction

MFSK is really a type of super-RTTY. The MFSK technique was developed during the heyday of teleprinter HF communications, as a way to combat multi-path propagation problems, providing reliable point-to-point communications with relatively simple equipment. Piccolo, for example, was used on diplomatic links between England and Singapore, and typically provided good copy for an hour after RTTY links had faded out. Today with computers and sound cards, this mode can be used by Amateurs.

The article, " MFSK for the New Millennium" helps you get started.
