@ -95,7 +95,8 @@ The JT65 mode has revolutionized amateur-radio weak-signal communication
Since 2004, most JT65 decoders have used the patented Koetter-Vardy (KV)
algebraic soft-decision decoder, licensed to K1JT and implemented in a
closed-source program for use in amateur radio applications.
We describe here a new open-source alternative called the FT algotithm.
We describe here a new open-source alternative called the Franke-Taylor
(FT, or K9AN-K1JT) algorithm.
It is conceptually simple, built around the well-known Berlekamp-Massey
errors-and-erasures algorithm, and performs at least as well as the KV
decoder.

In practice the number of errors in the received word is unknown, so we
use a stochastic algorithm to assign high erasure probability to low-quality
symbols and relatively low probability to high-quality symbols.
As illustrated by Example 3, a good choice of these probabilities can increase
the chance of a successful decode by many orders of magnitude.
