radioteletype
thumb|Radioteletype tuning indicator thumb|Tuning indicator on cathode ray tube Radioteletype (RTTY) is a telecommunications system consisting originally of two or more electromechanical teleprinters in different locations connected by radio rather than a wired link. Radioteletype evolved from earlier landline teleprinter operations that began in the mid-1800s. The US Navy Department successfully tested printing telegraphy between an airplane and ground radio station in 1922. Later that year, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) successfully tested printing telegraphy via their Chatham, Mass

FT8
thumb|A Waterfall plot|waterfall display showing FT8 in use on the [[40-meter band.]] 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. It was released on June 29, 2017, by its creators Joe Taylor, K1JT and Steve Franke, K9AN, as part of the WSJT software package.

Fldigi
Fldigi (short for Fast light digital) is a free and open-source program which allows an ordinary computer's sound card to be used as a simple two-way data modem. The software is mostly used by amateur radio operators who connect the microphone and headphone connections of an amateur radio SSB or FM transceiver to the computer's headphone and microphone connections, respectively.
