Phonetics

Top

This is a way to make yourself understood better when voicing your callsign and other alphabetic information. Under poor signal conditions it is easy to confuse “F” with “S” and “P” with “B” and so on. A system was devised called “International phonetics” to overcome this problem. Here is the complete list:

A	Alpha	N	November
B	Bravo	O	Oscar
C	Charlie	P	Papa
D	Delta	Q	Quebec
E	Echo	R	Romeo
F	Foxtrot	S	Sierra
G	Golf	T	Tango
H	Hotel	U	Uniform
I	India	V	Victor
J	Juliet	W	Whiskey
K	Kilo	X	X-ray
L	Lima	Y	Yankee
M	Mike	Z	Zulu

Phonetics are not used when sending code, however they can be used in parts of the NuMorse Pro training system to help you learn the code. Drill sessions can be set up to voice the correct phonetic for a character when you make a typing mistake. See the Drill Settings control panel for further details.

Important note:

Do not confuse International Phonetics with the Mnemonics used in the NuMorse Pro First Steps feature.

International phonetics are an officially agreed way to communicate letters by voice.

NuMorse Pro mnemonics are a way to help you remember the Morse code sounds for alphabetic characters. They have no official status.
