It is made to alert you about CQs, new Calls, new DXCC etc. This really changes the JT65 experience and helps a lot people that like to use this mode. I still don’t know why this happens but I hope to find out soon as JT9 is interesting even if now so “popular” as JT65.īut the real GEM is another piece of software that is made to work with both JT65-HF and WSJT-X: JTAlert. I’m still not been able to do a QSO with it as every time I try, the power of the communication is very “random” or zero and so I’m not able to do any stable communication. It happened to me a few times now and it’s very annoying.Īlso… WSJT-X supports JT9 a sort of “streamlined” (smaller bandwidth) version of JT65. The only drawback is that the beta version I’m using (1.2 r3563) is sometimes a little unstable and crashes. Here’s what my screen looks like with WSJT-X (and JTAlert, more about it below): Too long to list them here but they are easy to understand… even without reading the manual 😀 There are also a lot of options for the waterfall and for the communication. They both can be resized and you can “adjust” them almost how you want. It has two windows: one with the activity and control panel and the other (optional) with the waterfall. I know, I should always read the manual but I do simply because I want to go more in depth about what I’m doing not because I can’t understand where to even start 😀Īnyway… WSJT-X is far from perfect but much much better than JT65-HF. The only way to understand what to do is read the manual. It is totally counterintuitive and make a simple mode like JT65 quite difficult to understand. I didn’t like the graphic interface of JT65-HF… very OLD style and also I don’t like things that windows that don’t resize. On the encode/decode side I switched from JT65-HF to WSJT-X. In the last couple of days I discovered a couple of piece of sofware that made me come back to try JT65 and appreciate it even more that I supposed it could happen 🙂 I already wrote a post about JT65 mode but I didn’t use much after that period and almost did all my QSOs with PSK31.
