Free software?

Post by nordhavn »

At the moment I'm using wsjt-x for ft4 and ft8 . Are there any other free programs so that I can experiment with other modes eg rtty, sstv and maybe even CW ? I've tried to download fldigi but all I got was a logging program .
Regards

mmtty, mmsstv for example
Best CW decoder is CW skimmer, paid, but there is free trial.
There is Hamscope, https://www.qsl.net/on6mu/rxsstv.htm and many more :)

Is there a 'modern' STTV programme out there that doesn't look like a bad impression of Teletext? Fancy a little dabble again but the available software seems ancient. Whilst I appreciate the mode is ancient in itself, I was hoping that someone would have produced a modern interface that's a bit easier to use :-/
