+WSJT-X Version 2.1 offers ten different protocols or modes: FT4, FT8, +JT4, JT9, JT65, QRA64, ISCAT, MSK144, WSPR, and Echo. The first six +are designed for making reliable QSOs under weak-signal +conditions. They use nearly identical message structure and source +encoding. JT65 and QRA64 were designed for EME (“moonbounce”) on the +VHF/UHF bands and have also proven very effective for worldwide QRP +communication on the HF bands. QRA64 has a number of advantages over +JT65, including better performance on the very weakest signals. We +imagine that over time it may replace JT65 for EME use. JT9 was +originally designed for the LF, MF, and lower HF bands. Its submode +JT9A is 2 dB more sensitive than JT65 while using less than 10% of the +bandwidth. JT4 offers a wide variety of tone spacings and has proven +highly effective for EME on microwave bands up to 24 GHz. These four +“slow” modes use one-minute timed sequences of alternating +transmission and reception, so a minimal QSO takes four to six minutes +— two or three transmissions by each station, one sending in odd UTC +minutes and the other even. FT8 is operationally similar but four +times faster (15-second T/R sequences) and less sensitive by a few +dB. FT4 is faster still (7.5 s T/R sequences) and especially well +suited for radio contesting. On the HF bands, world-wide QSOs are +possible with any of these modes using power levels of a few watts (or +even milliwatts) and compromise antennas. QSOs are possible at signal +levels 10 to 15 dB below those required for CW. +

+

+Note that even though their T/R sequences are short, FT4 and FT8 are +classified as slow modes because their message frames are sent only +once per transmission. All fast modes in WSJT-X send their message +frames repeatedly, as many times as will fit into the Tx sequence +length. +

+

+ISCAT, MSK144, and optionally submodes JT9E-H are “fast” protocols +designed to take advantage of brief signal enhancements from ionized +meteor trails, aircraft scatter, and other types of scatter +propagation. These modes use timed sequences of 5, 10, 15, or 30 s +duration. User messages are transmitted repeatedly at high rate (up to +250 characters per second, for MSK144) to make good use of the +shortest meteor-trail reflections or “pings”. ISCAT uses free-form +messages up to 28 characters long, while MSK144 uses the same +structured messages as the slow modes and optionally an abbreviated +format with hashed callsigns. +

+

+WSPR (pronounced “whisper”) stands for Weak Signal Propagation +Reporter. The WSPR protocol was designed for probing potential +propagation paths using low-power transmissions. WSPR messages +normally carry the transmitting station’s callsign, grid locator, and +transmitter power in dBm, and they can be decoded at signal-to-noise +ratios as low as -31 dB in a 2500 Hz bandwidth. WSPR users with +internet access can automatically upload reception reports to a +central database called WSPRnet that provides a mapping facility, +archival storage, and many other features. +

+

+Echo mode allows you to detect and measure your own station’s echoes +from the moon, even if they are far below the audible threshold. +

+

+WSJT-X provides spectral displays for receiver passbands as wide as 5 +kHz, flexible rig control for nearly all modern radios used by +amateurs, and a wide variety of special aids such as automatic Doppler +tracking for EME QSOs and Echo testing. The program runs equally well +on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux systems, and installation packages +are available for all three platforms. +
