NAME

       gmfsk - MFSK terminal for GNOME

SYNOPSIS

       gmfsk

DESCRIPTION

       gmfsk  is  a  terminal  for  MFSK16,  RTTY  and  Throb,  three  digital
       modulation formats used on HF radio  particularly  by  radio  amateurs.
       MFSK is an acronym for multi-tone frequency shift keying.

       gmfsk  demodulates signals received through the sound card and displays
       the resulting text on the screen.  In  transmit  mode,  typed  text  is
       modulated and transmitted through the sound card.

       Circuits for connecting the sound card to a receiver or transceiver are
       readily available on the web.

OPTIONS

       Standard GNOME options may be used.

       GMFSK must be configured through the "Settings" menu when first used.

NOTES

       MFSK activity is commonly found around 14.080 MHz on  the  amateur  20m
       band.

       Although  GMFSK  is  free  software,  transmission of any signal and of
       MFSK, RTTY and/or Throb signals in particular is subject to the laws of
       the  government  of  your country. Receiving on non-amateur frequencies
       may also be prohibited.
