Question 343

Which of the following narrow-band digital modes can receive signals with very low signal-to-noise ratios?

  1. MSK144
  2. FT8Correct answer
  3. AMTOR
  4. MFSK32

Explanation

FT8 combines a fixed compact message structure with heavy forward error correction spread over a 15 second transmission in a narrow bandwidth, which yields enough coding gain to decode signals far below the noise floor. MSK144 is a high-rate meteor scatter mode, not a weak-signal narrowband one.
