What is the best FT8 software?
WSJT-X is the most popular software for FT8. This great program is not only free but versions are available for Windows-based PCs and Macintosh OS, Linux (with pre-compiled Debian, Fedora and Raspbian distros).
What does WSJT stand for?
Weak Signal communication by
WSJT-X is a computer program designed to facilitate basic amateur radio communication using very weak signals. The first four letters in the program name stand for “Weak Signal communication by K1JT,” while the suffix “-X” indicates that WSJT-X started as an extended and experimental branch of the program WSJT.
What is WSJT suite?
WSJT is a computer program used for weak-signal radio communication between amateur radio operators. The program was initially written by Joe Taylor, K1JT, but is now open source and is developed by a small team.
What does RRR mean in FT8?
A Typical FT8 QSO
| A Typical FT8 QSO | |
|---|---|
| “IZ1M KI7PO RRR” | KI7PO tells IZ1M, “Reception Report Received” (This can also be shortened to “RR73” indicating, “Report Received 73,” which would be a completed QSO) |
| “KI7PO IZ1M 73” | IZ1M says “Best regards” (“73”) |
What are the ft4 frequencies?
The FT4 mode is the new digital mode born and thought for fast contacts such as QSOs done during contests and DX-Peditions….Frequencies.
| Band | Frequency (MHz) |
|---|---|
| 40m | 7.0475 |
| 30m | 10.140 |
| 20m | 14.080 |
| 17m | 18.104 |
How do I add frequencies to Wsjt?
To add a new entry, right-click anywhere on the frequency table and select Insert. Enter a frequency in MHz in the pop-up box and select the desired mode (or leave the Mode selection as All). Then click OK. The table may include more than one frequency for a given band.
How do I update Wsjt?
Upgrading from a previous version will be straightforward. There is no need to uninstall or move any files. If you want to make sure to have the latest list of default working frequencies, go to File | Settings | Frequencies, right-click in the Working Frequencies list, and select Reset. Documentation: The WSJT-X 2.
What frequency is psk31 on?
PSK31 Frequencies
| Frequency | Amateur Band |
|---|---|
| 7.040 MHz* | 40 meter (regions 1) |
| 7.070 MHz* | 40 meter (regions 2) |
| 10.142 MHz | 30 meter |
| 14.070 MHz | 20 meter |
What are the FT4 frequencies?
What’s the difference between FT4 and FT8?
Introduction: FT4 is an experimental digital mode designed specifically for radio contesting. T/R sequences are 6 seconds long, so FT4 is 2.5 × faster than FT8 and about the same speed as RTTY for radio contesting. FT4 can work with signals 10 dB weaker than needed for RTTY, while using much less bandwidth.
Is the WSJT source code available for JT65?
All users of JT65 whether with WSJT, MultiPSK or JT65-HF owe a debt of gratitude to K1JT and the WSJT development group for their efforts and generosity in having made the WSJT source code available and open.
What is the purpose of the JT65-HF protocol?
JT65-HF is an adaptation of the JT65A protocol with an emphasis upon its usage in the high frequency Amateur bands to facilitate weak signal communications and experimentation. JT65-HF would not be possible without the efforts of Joe Taylor – K1JT and his WSJT software upon which JT65-HF is, in part, based.
Which is more sensitive WSJT-X JT65 or JT9?
I set things up so the receive meter in WSJT-X is peaking at the max, but not flat-topping. JT65 seems to be more sensitive than JT65 + JT9, that could be my imagination. What setting an I missing as some moderately strong signals are not decoding?
How many watts of power does a JT65 use?
Running at full output power is seldom necessary or desirable due to the incredible sensitivity of JT65. Most users find 5 to 10 watts (or less) highly effective and 25 to 30 watts is considered ‘high power’. Initial Setup Upon first launch of JT65-HF you will be presented with a window for configuration.
