I'd just leave it to the WSJT-X team, and only the WSJT-X team. Neil, KN3ILZ On 8/9/2018 4:08 PM, Andras Bato wrote: George is quite right! Leave it to the dev team -and to Igor! It well worth to test what does JTDX dev team do. gl de ha6nn Andras On Wed, Aug 8, 2018 at 1:10 PM, George J

FWIW, my experience (in ~3yrs of use): lowest JT65 decode about -28, JT9 about -26, FT8 about -20. I have gotten a few low level JT9 QSO’s at times when I could not get them on JT65 - I suspect due to band activity. My WSJT-X is set for 2-pass, 6 erasure and 10 aggression. Al Pawlowski,
