Digital Modes Bundle
Talkgroups, calling frequencies, and mesh tools — East TN digital references included.
Why bundle digital mode tools?
Digital ops scatter across brand-specific apps, PDFs, and forum posts. This bundle keeps DMR talkgroups, D-Star reflectors, FT8/JS8 calling frequencies, Meshtastic presets, and WIRES-X rooms in one offline-capable place.
East Tennessee operators can jump to DMR & Digital for local repeaters and statewide talkgroups, or pair digital contingency with the emcomm workflow and PACE planner when repeaters fail.
NBEMS / Fldigi for served-agency traffic
Many served agencies expect NBEMS (Fldigi + Flmsg) for ICS-style message forms on HF/VHF data segments — THOR, Olivia, and MFSK modes alongside Winlink. Pair ICS-213 message bodies with your agency's NBEMS template library; document the mode in PACE as Contingency or Alternate. Winlink remains the common ham volunteer path — see Winlink workflow and HF traffic hub for radiogram/NTS precedence.
