[ADXA] FT8....

Sun Mar 1 20:07:59 EST 2020

San,

If you have the Icom remote software you won’t even need an interface. I’m running WSJT (FT-8,4) through the LAN on a 7700 and a 7851. The 7600 mirrors the 7700 and should have the same ability. I do like how the Icoms run RTTY and PSK directly from the radio. True plug and play. You can do the similar with FT-8/4 via the LAN port. 

I can send you the settings if you want to give it a whirl.

I see where Rick UR has worked the VP8 on FT8 and also FT8 on a couple of DXpeds recently, so at least he finally “gave in”….

On CW and SSB and RTTY I know for sure because I can hear CW and Voice and my RTTY printout is large and I can read the page. Oh well, another low band/mode count for me standing at 11 now. 21 CW and 24 would pacify me along with a lucky 3.5 CW QSO. I would yell loud again and wife would come running into the ham room from across the house. 😊   I will wait for the new FT9-MS-1 mode coming out in a few months.

>> Think lot of this discusson on what , who and where came from the early 28mc spot by WD9Q about 28180 FT being LP and not PJ…  that was about 90 minutes ago. He did not mention other frequencies lower down initially, only 28180 on 10m..
>> Does not affect me, since I am not an FT8 guy…. I have the VP8 on 28 and 24 mc from years ago but still would be nice to work them on THIS trip on top two bands.. Won’t happen for me. Anyway was just trying to tell Dave to check his QSO stream.  Frequencies were not mentioned, only the band in the initial comments.. Lot going on now with the VP8 and confusing in some cases.

>> FT-8  At -12 to -16. Now they just switched to FT-4 . A bunch of LU’s and a couple of ZS6’s are -10 to -15 on 10m. You can hear their “whistle” so be watching for a CW opening...  They are audible.
