PSK31 Digital Mode

This is a comprehensive intro to the PSK31 digital mode. It's all of the major concepts and some demonstration crammed into a 30 minute class. I had to leave some things out but I believe a newcomer will find what they need to know to get in on the action. - Cliff

Dear Cliff: Thanks to your excellent video and explanation I have put my station into operation on PSK31 I already have more than 60 contacts in a period of 2 months ... You have ignacious skills as a teacher, a great greeting from KJ4GNR - Jorge

Thank you Cliff! I’m just getting into digital modes. This was the most clear step by step into into PSK31I have found so far.

Thanks for taking the time to do this...I could not have set this up without your help.

THANKS Cliff. As you know, been waiting for another 'digital' mode from you. Nice job. Covered most of what anyone getting started needs to know.
I agree with what said about anyone who's a little 'mic shy' and/or doesn't happen to know CW. Digital modes are a great way to get 'radioing', not a great deal dissimilar from what we all do online (once you get the setup done). Like anyone 'txting', there are nuances to learn. But we had to learn those with cellphones too; and we all survived that learing curve.
Keep up the great teaching. Really enjoy your videos.

Cliff, I must say your videos have been the absolute best of anyone out there to explain things to an old ham like myself. My call is W5HSJ down in Corpus Christi, Texas. I have been wanting to get on some form of digital, but really haven't found anyone else that can present this material to help me decide what would work for me. Your videos have done an excellent job of that. So Thank You very much. Keep up the good work! Mark W5HSJ

Appreciate your well thought out commentary and the time you spend doing videos Reducing the complexity of digital is beneficial for many hams. Thanks Steve W5FOR

I realize it’s been 4 years since this video was made but I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed and appreciated this video! You made it easy to understand and I have been wanting to learn how the digital modes work. I am working on my General license now. Can’t wait to try these modes out! Sure wish you were still cranking out videos!! Hope you are well! 73 -KM4OCJ

This is  a Godsend!   Never heard about PSK3,  until this video!   I only wanted to do CW but never had the time and patience to learn it.  This is the best of both worlds.   SUBSCRIBED!

[ericbergmueller]

I learned a lot about PSK and I want to try it! I like your presentation style -- it's clear, and you have a good pace. Thank you and 73 de KB3UYT

Thanks Cliff, just started psk31 I find it very interesting, you put over some good and interesting points.Regards From the UK...

Very nice video. As a brasspounder, I'd love it if newcomers to CW would take your advice and spend quality time just copying other traffic before they try a QSO. You're so right: you learn protocol by listening first. I love working beginners, and QRS instantly for them, but some of the ignorance out there (I'm talking "doesn't know the first thing", or its cousin, "thinks contest protocol is fine in the real world") is hard to overlook. When I figure out PSK I'll to do the same thing I did when I learned CW: copy a lot first. Thanks for the instruction!

Cliff, I am just getting started with QRP and I really enjoy your videos. You take the time to explain whats going on and I appreciate that. You are a great instructor. More videos please. Wade KD9IBH -73

[JorgePerez-ehub]

Congratulations for your amazing ability to explain complicated things in a simple way, your English for me who was not born in this country and arrived here as an adult, is perfectly clear and I understand everything. Thank you teacher for your lessons.

Nicely explained. I had heard about using digital modes, but this shows it in detail. Now I have to get the radio equipment necessary to utilize the mode. I guess all it takes is a little $$$$ and time.

[johnholman]

Thanks Cliff. This is really helpful. Just found your videos. Appreciate you sharing the good information.

[robamsler]

This is REALLY a great video for starting out! Thanks Cliff!!

[somarmd]

Wow...found your videos tonight and love them! I am a new ham, looking to experience QRP digital modes. I have an iCom 7300 as a base unit and will have to learn how to set it for digital. I love the idea of going mobil with a smaller rig and laptop. Thank you for your videos.
