Digital

Digital radio communications are audio sounds that are digitized.  There are a variety of modes that may occupy less bandwidth,  or perhaps allow communications with very weak signals or very noisy conditions.

Have you ever tried to distinguish various digital mode signals on a waterfall and

Weak Signal Communication Software
WSJT, MP65, WSPR, and WSJT-X are open-source programs designed for weak-signal digital communication by amateur radio.  Normal usage requires a standard SSB transceiver and a personal computer with sound card.

WSJT-X implements communication protocols or “modes” called FT8, JT4, JT9, JT65, QRA64, ISCAT, MSK144, and WSPR, as well as one called Echo for detecting and measuring your own radio signals reflected from the Moon.  These modes were all designed for making reliable, confirmed QSOs under extreme weak-signal conditions.
