Hi Glenn, Searching the User Guide for a keyword is often a helpful way to find a section of interest, but it's hardly a substitute for actually reading the Guide. The second and third paragraphs of the whole Guide introduce each of the supported protocols and provide a few words about what

Thanks for the guidance. So I'll take the hit for overlooking FST4 and FST4W for the needed low S/N. I jumped to conclusions too quickly. I do that too often in life. This happened after operating FT8 since 2021. My oversight is due to the following reliance on a method of quickly scanning

Hi Glenn, FT4 and FT8 are a tiny fraction of what's available in WSJT-X. Modes that meet the needs you describe are already available in the program. Spend some time reading the WSJT-X User Guide. Pay particular attention to Section 17.2. Its Table 7 summarizes the threshold sensitivities

Hello Glenn, I think that you wish is already heard and fulfilled. The suitable mode is FST4. There are seven modes with transmission periods from 15 to 1800 seconds. The performance of the FST4-120 is about the same as for WSPR. For longer transmission periods transmitter frequency stability

Glenn the new mode you want has been out for quite awhile. FST4 is that mode. However 160M ops have been slow to adopt it. I guess because it’s not a set and forget mode like FT8 is. Fred N2XK > On Dec 7, 2023, at 2:28 PM, Glenn Williams via wsjt-devel > wrote: > > Hello, > > FT8 on 160m

Hi Glenn, You might like the FST4 QSO mode. Same operating procedure as FT8, but depending on cycle length it can decode below -30 dB. It is mostly used on 630m but I also had (transatlantic) contacts on 160m. https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/FST4_Quick_Start.pdf 73 Stefan On 07.12.23 16:46,

Hello, FT8 on 160m pales. WSJT-X operators customarily running FT8 and FT4 on 80m through 10m HF bands are likely disappointed with trials on 160m. As one of those operators I recently ran WSPR on 160m in comparison to working FT8 QSOs on 160m. In NA EST daytime operation at 2220Z WSPR
