[Elecraft] Get the kids off the street - making my move!

[James Rodenkirch]

Pete: you replied with this...I find that WSJT-X works better for me than JT65-HF and is written by Joe Taylor (K1JT) himself.


I see this at his website:


   WSJT-X implements JT9, a new mode designed especially for the LF, MF, and HF bands, as well as the popular mode JT65.  Both modes were designed for
   making reliable, confirmed QSOs under extreme weak-signal conditions.  They use nearly identical message structure and source encoding.


   And this...A 2 kHz slice of spectrum is essentially full when occupied by ten JT65 signals.  As many as 100 JT9 signals can fit into the same space, without
   overlap. (more efficient is a good thing).



Are there like or similar numbers of JT9 ops as there are JT65 ops?


Is JT9 rockin' the lower bands -  160, 80 and 40???


I'm "axin'" 'cuz I'm about to load JT65 s/w and get it runnin' 'tween my Microsoft Surface Pro and my KX3 -- I'm not averse to loading WSJT-X and getting a friend of mine to configure he s/w and get it running.....might be more beneficial to go with WSJT-X as it has a "bi-lingual" operating mode so you can switch between the two....is WSJT-X any more difficult to set up or, if one is fairly familiar with the "old JT65"?
