==== FT8
Forward error correction (FEC) in FT8 uses a low-density
parity check (LDPC) code with 75 information bits, a 12-bit cyclic
redundancy check (CRC), and 174 channel symbols. It is thus called an
LDPC (174,87) code. Synchronization uses 7×7 Costas arrays at the
beginning, middle, and end of each transmission. Modulation is 8-tone
frequency-shift keying (8-FSK) at 12000/1920 = 6.25 baud. Each

symbols is 174/3 + 21 = 79. The total occupied bandwidth is
8 × 6.25 = 50 Hz.
