https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/1396387e-823b-4fba-b576-ebcfbdabbcd7 Ham radio operators are having great fun with digital modes! These include "conversational modes" designed for hams to converse over the air, keyboard-to-keyboard. Many of these modes involve the use of a computer soundcard. This video shows how to set up your station and provides a little history, too. Join the digital revolution! Thank you for watching my videos! My channel, "Ham Radio Answers," is here to help you become an active, on-the-air amateur radio operator! I am unique in that I provide the only set of YouTube training videos that accompany the ARRL license manuals, section for section. I try hard to answer every Ask Dave question individually if I can.

I'm often asked what equipment I use to create the videos. The devices include the Panasonic HDC-TMT90 video camera, Tascam DR-05 audio recorder, Audio-Technica ATR-3350 lapel microphone, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W560 digital camera, and Pentax K100D DSLR.
