[ADXA] RE - Question on FT8 Identifiers/reports

[John Evans]

All,

Remember folks, WSJT-X is not the only software that uses FT8 Protocol on
the FT8 Frequencies.  Programs such as JS8Call and FT8Call use the same
Protocol as WSJT-X uses, except these other programs send different data in
the data packets.   JS8Call is designed for Keyboard to Keyboard QSOs.

WSJT-X reads the packets just fine from JS8Call because they are the proper
protocol, the packets just contain different data in the payload.  So
WSJT-X will only display what he sees.  This information is meaningful to
the other software programs.

By no means am I saying this is what EJ is seeing, but wanted to mention
that there are other FT8 Signals out there that are not being sent by
WSJT-X.

-John
