Which of the following is a digital communications mode?
The correct answer is D: All these choices are correct. Packet radio, IEEE 802.11, and FT8 are all digital communications modes. Packet radio is a digital mode using AX.25 protocol for data transmission. IEEE 802.11 is the Wi-Fi standard, which is a digital radio communications protocol. FT8 is a digital weak-signal mode used on HF. For amateur radio operators, understanding that all these are digital modes helps when selecting equipment and understanding the various digital communications options available. Digital modes are becoming increasingly important in amateur radio.
Exam Tip
All three are digital modes: Packet radio, IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), FT8. When all listed options are digital communications modes, 'all of the above' is usually the answer. All use digital encoding and modulation.
Memory Aid
"All three are digital modes: Packet radio, IEEE 802.11, FT8. Think 'A'll 'D'igital 'M'odes. Packet radio (AX.25), Wi-Fi (802.11), and FT8 are all digital communications methods."
Real-World Application
You can use packet radio for digital messaging, IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) for high-speed data on 2.4/5 GHz amateur bands, and FT8 for weak-signal digital contacts on HF. All three are digital communications modes - they encode information digitally rather than using analog voice. Digital modes offer advantages like error correction and efficient spectrum use.

Why Other Options Are Wrong
Option A (Packet radio): While correct, this is incomplete. IEEE 802.11 and FT8 are also digital modes.
Option B (IEEE 802.11): While correct, this is incomplete. Packet radio and FT8 are also digital modes.
Option C (FT8): While correct, this is incomplete. Packet radio and IEEE 802.11 are also digital modes.
