Starting with WSJT-X 2.0, the FT8 and MSK144 protocols convey a 77-bit
|
|
payload. For most purposes these bits are interpreted as 3 bits (i3)
|
|
for message type and 74 for user information. Any message type that
|
|
uses fewer than 74 information bits can assign the remaining bits to
|
|
define message subtypes. For example, Type i3=0 uses 71 information
|
|
bits and the remaining 3 bits, here called n3, define 8 possible
|
|
subtypes.

The 28-bit fields normally used for callsigns are configured rather
|
|
differently from before.

Facts about the 28-bit integers used to encode standard callsigns:

2^28 = 268,435,456 Available values

37*36*10*27*27*27 = 262,177,560 Used for standard callsigns

1. Two callsigns, Roger, and grid or report. Each callsign may have
|
|
an appended "/R" to indicate Rover status for NA VHF contests.
|
|
Either callsign may be nonstandard if enclosed in angle brackets,
|
|
for example <YW18FIFA>.
|
|
|
|
2. Same as Type 1, but uses /P instead of /R. For European VHF contests.
|
|
|
|
3. Standard message for ARRL RTTY Roundup. Optional "TU;" at
|
|
beginning to finish a previous QSO; then two standard callsigns,
|
|
optional "R", a 3-bit report (529 to 599), and 13 bits to indicate
|
|
US state, Canadian province/territory, or DX serial number from
|
|
0001 to 7999.
|
|
|
|
4. One hashed call or "CQ"; one compound or nonstandard call with up
|
|
to 11 characters; and (if not "CQ") an optional RRR, RR73, or 73.
