Summary : Weak Signal communication by K1JT
Description :
WSJT-X is a computer program designed to facilitate basic amateur radio
communication using very weak signals. It implements communication protocols
or "modes" called JT4, JT9, JT65, QRA64, ISCAT, MSK144, and WSPR, as well as
one called Echo for detecting and measuring your own radio signals reflected
from the Moon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
NEW FEATURES IN WSJT-X 2.0 -------------------------- 1. Compound and
nonstandard callsigns are automatically recognized and handled using new FT8
and MSK144 message formats. 2. The new FT8 protocol provides optimized message
formats for North American VHF contests, European VHF contests, ARRL Field Day,
and ARRL RTTY Roundup. Similarly, the new MSK144 protocol provides optimized
message formats for North American VHF and European VHF contests. Full support
is provided for "/R" and "/P" calls in the relevant contests. 3. The
new
protocols provide nearly equal (or better) sensitivity compared to the old
ones, and lower false decode rates. 4. New logging features are provided for
contesting and for "Fox" (DXpedition) mode. Logging is optionally integrated
with N1MM Logger+ and WriteLog. 5. Color highlighting of decoded messages
provides worked-before status for callsigns, grid locators, DXCC entities,
continents, CQ Zones, and ITU zones on a ���by band��� and ���by mode��� basis, and for
stations that have uploaded their logs to Logbook of the World (LoTW) within a
specified time interval. 6. The WSPR decoder now achieves decodes down to S/N
= -31 dB. For the particular benefit of LF/MF users, an option "No own call
decodes" has been added. 7. The UDP messages sent to companion programs have
been expanded and improved. A more detailed list of program changes can be
found in the cumulative Release Notes:
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/Release_Notes.txt Upgrading from
earlier versions of WSJT-X should be seamless. There is no need to uninstall a
previous version or move any files. Please do not continue to use any release
candidate -- that is, any beta release with "-rc#" in the version name. Links
to installation packages for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh are available here:
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html You can also download the
packages from our SourceForge site:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/files/
It may take a short time for the SourceForge site to be updated. We hope you
will enjoy using WSJT-X Version 2.0.0. -- 73, Joe, K1JT, for the WSJT
