See the next section for a list of major program improvements since And finally:
Increasing FT8 usage on the popular bands 40, 30, and 20m means that
the default 3 kHz sub-bands are often wall-to-wall with signals.
Overcrowding encourages some to turn on their amplifiers, which only
makes things worse.
As a trial, and in response to numerous suggestions from around the
world, we have added a second set of suggested dial frequencies for
FT8 on these three HF bands. The new frequencies are 7.071, 10.133,
and 14.071 MHz. They will appear in your drop-down band-selector list
only after you go to the "Settings | Frequencies" tab, right-click on
the frequency table, and select "Reset". Alternatively, you can add
the new frequencies manually.
When the conventional FT8 sub-band on 20, 30, or 40m seems too full,
please try moving your dial frequency down 3 kHz!
