Digital-mode problems rarely stay in one layer. A failure may begin in an application setting, serial device, TCP link, audio level, modem, radio menu, feed line, propagation path, or remote station.
*Amateur Radio Digital Modes* teaches operators to follow the complete signal path. It covers packet concepts, station interfaces, AX.25, store-and-forward networks, Winlink-style paths, mode selection, audio and RF discipline, and practical troubleshooting across software and hardware boundaries.
The second edition includes eight instructional diagrams, a screen-optimized PDF, and a printable station setup and on-air checklist.
**Best for:** packet operators, emergency-communications volunteers, Winlink users, and radio amateurs building or repairing digital stations.
This second edition was developed through directed human-AI collaboration. Jerome M. Kutche defined the scope, supplied subject-matter experience, directed revisions, selected the final visual system, and retained editorial responsibility. AI tools assisted with drafting and restructuring. Technical claims should be verified against current primary documentation before use.
