Release: WSJT-X 2.1.1
November 25, 2019
---------------------
WSJT-X 2.1.1 is a bug fix only release addressing regressions in the
prior v2.1.0 release.
- Document rules for the UDP message protocol.
- Fix bug that could cause display of a blank Settings window.
- Fix message parsing to properly handle 4-character directed CQs
- Fix a potential crash in the interface to Omni-Rig.
- Improve handling of unexpected rig off line status changes from
Omni-Rig.
- Add an option to highlight unworked 2-character grid fields rather

WSJT-X is a computer program designed to facilitate basic amateur
radio communication using very weak signals. The first four letters in
the program name stand for “Weak Signal communication by K1JT,” while
the suffix “-X” indicates that WSJT-X started as an extended (and
experimental) branch of the program WSJT.
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.
WSJT-X Version 1.6 offers five protocols or “modes”: JT4, JT9, JT65
WSPR, and Echo. The first three are designed for making reliable QSOs
under extreme weak-signal conditions. They use nearly identical
message structure and source encoding. JT65 was designed for EME
(“moonbounce”) on the VHF/UHF bands and has also proven very effective
for worldwide QRP communication on the HF bands. JT9 is optimized for
the LF, MF, and lower HF bands. It 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 proved very effective for EME on microwave
bands up to 24 GHz. All three of these 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. On the HF
bands, world-wide QSOs are possible using power levels of a few watts
and compromise antennas. On VHF bands and higher, QSOs are possible
(by EME and other propagation types) 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.
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 stations callsign, grid locator, and
transmitter power in dBm, and they can be decoded at signal-to-noise
ratios as low as -28 dB in a 2500 Hz bandwidth. WSPR users with
internet access can automatically upload their reception reports to a
central database called {wsprnet} that provides a mapping facility,
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 stations 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 lunar echoes, even
if they are far below the audible threshold.
Echo mode allows you to detect and measure your own stations echoes
from the moon, even if they are far below the audible threshold.
WSJT-X provides spectral displays for passbands up to 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.

TIP: To avoid QRM from competing callers, it is frequently desirable
to answer a CQ on a different frequency from that of the CQing
station. The same is true when you tail-end another QSO. Choose a Tx
frequency that appears to be not in use. You might want to check the
box *Hold Tx Freq*.
.Best S+P Button
The FT4 user interface includes a new button labeled *Best S+P*.
image::Best_S+P.png[align="center"]
Clicking *Best S+P* during an Rx cycle arms the program to examine all
CQ messages decoded at the end of the Rx sequence. The program will
select the best potential QSO partner (from a contesting perspective),
and treat it as if you had double-clicked on that line of decoded
text. Here "best potential QSO partner" means "New Multiplier" (1st
priority) or "New Call on Band" (2nd priority). "New Multiplier" is
currently interpreted to mean "New DXCC"; a more broadly defined
multiplier category (for the ARRL RTTY Roundup rules) will be
implemented in due course. We may provide additional priority
rankings, for example “New Grid on Band” (useful for North American
VHF contests), sorting by signal strength, etc.
*Best S+P* is a useful feature only if you have defined what "best" is
supposed to mean. This is done by configuring suitable options on the
*Settings | Colors* tab. Selection and ordering of color-highlighting
options determines what potential QSO partners will be chosen by the
"Best S+P" feature. Optimum choices will be different for different
contests. In a contest using RTTY Roundup rules we recommend
activating *My Call in message*, *New DXCC*, *New Call on Band*, *CQ
in message* and *Transmitted message*, reading from top to bottom.
TIP: Keyboard shortcuts *Shift+F11* and *Shift+F12* provide an easy
way to move your FT4 Tx frequency down or up in 90 Hz steps.
