Common and Important Examples
- N0N
- Continuous, unmodulated carrier - as previously commonly used for radio direction finding (RDF) in marine and aeronautical navigation.
- A1A
- Signalling by keying the carrier directly (aka CW or OOK) - as currently used in amateur radio. This is often but not necessarily Morse code.
- A2A
- Signalling by keying a tone modulated onto a carrier so that it can easily be heard using an ordinary AM receiver - as used for station idents of some NDB transmissions. This is usually but not exclusively Morse code. (An example of modulated continuous wave)
- A3E
- AM speech communication - as used for aeronautical VHF communications
- F3E
- FM speech communication - as used for marine and many other VHF communications
- J3E
- SSB speech communication - as used on HF bands by marine, aeronautical and amateur users
- A3E or A3EG
- Normal AM broadcast - as found on public LF and MF bands
- F1B
- FSK telegraphy, such as RTTY.
- F1C
- HF Radiofax
- F2D
- Data transmission by frequency modulation of a radio frequency carrier with an audio frequency FSK subcarrier. Often called AFSK/FM.
- J2B
- PSK31 (BPSK31)
- F8E or F8EH
- Normal FM stereo broadcast - as found on public VHF band, and as the audio component of broadcast television transmissions
- C3F or C3FN
- Broadcast analogue television video signals (previously identified as A5C under the 1976 Radio Regulations)
Note that there is some overlap, so a signal might legitimately be described by two or more designators. In such cases, there is often a traditionally preferred designator.

Famous quotes containing the words common, important and/or examples:
“If any man can shew any just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace.”
—Book Of Common Prayer, The. Solemnization of Matrimony, “Exhortation,” (1662)
“Acknowledging separation feelings directly and sympathetically is the best way of coping with them. It is actually helpful to tell a toddler “I’ll miss you,” or “I will think of you during the day,” or “It is hard to say goodbye,” or “I can’t wait to see you at the end of the day.” These messages tell the child that he is important to the parent even when they are not together and that out of sight need not mean out of mind.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
