Frequencies
This page is for some recommended frequency that you may find certain digital modes on, but a problem with this guideand other is there are way to many opinions on which frequencies such and such mode should be found on. There are lots of gentle agreements out there floating around causing no uniform guide to go by.
Here is a real good suggestion and this is only meant to be a very ruff guide , the most important thing about a gentlemans agreements it is a attempt from keeping people from iinterfering with each other, like for example: it is NOT a good idea to operate on BPSK31 and then change modes to say OLIVIA and stay on the same frequency because you WILL cause interference even though you might see no one on your waterfall it is nice to be polite and QSY to the correct parts of the bands to attempt to keep QRM to the min..
for BPSK and QPSK 31 Modes and other 31 or smaller bandwidth modes of the PSK nature.
(1.807 (good for U.S. but not useful for DX in most cases plus many CW operators in this area)1838, 3580, 7035, 10140, 14070, 18100, 21080, 24920, 28070, 28120, 50.290,144.144 all in the USB dial modes.
For RTTY since this mode is very popular and has very wide use during contest you will find this mode in the chunks of frequencies of 1 838-1 842, 3 582-3 600, 7 035-7 045, 10 140-10 150, 14 080-14 099, 18 102-18 109, 21 080-21 120, 24 920-24 929, 28 050-28 150, 50.200-50.500, 144 600, 144.800-144.990 but not limited to these frequencies especially in major contests so watch out for QRM better maybe to operate on WARC bands .All in USB AFSK you also can find in the same frequency ranges, AMTOR and ASCII
For PACKET this is considered a wide band type of mode and they try to stay out of the way of the more narrow modes. 3590-3600 (QSO), 10150 LSB (APRS), 14090-14099 (QSO), 14101-14112 (BBS), 14105 (APRS), 18102 (APRS), 21100-21120 (QSO), 21113 (APRS), 28120-28150 KHz (QSO) it is recommended for DIGISSTV to be around 14.090 calling for contacts around 1700z because it is pretty exotic type of mode and is hard to find contacts with each other.
For Throb and Throb X Valid also for DOMINO, MFSK16, MFSK8 plus some other types of exotic like MFSK modes as well.
1840, 3583, 7037, 10147, 14078, 18103, 21073, 24923, 28080 Khz in USB these are consider fairly exotic modes. so suggested times is a plus to find traffic.
14078 Khz USB (AF around 1000 Hz) at 1700 z
10147 kHz USB (AF around 1000 Hz) at 2200 z.
144620 kHz USB (AF around 1000 Hz) at 2000 z
For PAX 3598, 7042, 14110, 18108, 21108, 24928, 28148, 144620 this could be adapated for other wide band type of modes such as ALE, MT63 1000-2000hz wide etc etc all these frequency are with in the U.S. band limits as well.as of 2011. On the more populated bands you might have to choose a different frequency for other modes. all these frequency for the USB dial frequency.
For OLIVIA 7040, 14104,5, 14105,5, 14106,5, 14107,5, 14108,5 (call frequency), 18107,5, 18106,5, 18105,5, 21108,5 KHz all USB dial frequency around the audio freq of 1000hz this can be used as a wide mode or a narrow mode depending on software settings, it is strongely suggested if chose to use as a wide mode to use in the frequency regions suggested and not be mixed with narrow modes.
Feld Hell like modes .
3.584, 7.039, 10.135, 14063-67,18.103, 21063,24.923 and 28.063 KHz this is a fairly exotic type of mode
