As many of you know, over the last few years JT65 has become one of the most popular digital modes on HF. Developed by Nobel Laureate Joe Taylor (K1JT), JT65 is a weak-signal mode originally designed for EME operation and included in the WSJT software program for Linux and Windows. Thanks largely to the efforts of Joe Large (W6CQZ) and his hugely popular Windows JT65-HF software, JT65 operation was simplified and is now widely used for routine terrestrial contacts on HF. Having attracted a large base of users around the world, JT65-HF added many great features such as multi-decode and a simplified interface that made JT65 more accessible for many.

With a Kinect and some software, you can make a decent 3D model of just about anything! Read on for our selection of the best Kinect 3D scanning software! Digital Modes Software Review To Join in the Fun - Pick the Best Software to meet your needs! There are a number of software applications available that will run on Windows, Mac OSX and various forms of Linux. So no matter what operating system you run on your computer, there will be a digital mode application available for your operating needs.

Continuously experimenting with weak-signal modes, Joe Taylor continued his development of new modes with an eye on improving both signal sensitivity and spectral efficiency, resulting in the release of the new mode JT9. JT9 is a superior mode for HF operation, being about 2dB more sensitive while operating in approximately 10% of the spectrum space utilized by JT65. In order to support this new mode as well as a move to a new development environment, Joe Taylor released a new version of WSJT known as WSJT-X. WSJT-X supports both the JT65 and JT9 modes and incorporates many of the enhancements originally developed by Joe Large for JT65-HF; including multi-decode and simultaneous decode of both JT65 and JT9 modes with seamless transition between the two.

Although the JT65 revolution started on Linux and Windows, there have been attempts to migrate it to OS X as well. Some of these were versions of JT65-HF wrapped in WINE for use on OS X while others compiled WSJT from source to run on OS X.

Best Mac Jt-65 Software Developer

The best thing to come out of the development of WSJT-X, at least for OS X users, is the release of a native OS X application for the software. Currently at v1.3 r3673, the OS X version is assembled by John Nelson (G4KLA) and is available for OS X 10.6 – 10.9. Preparation for running WSJT-X on OS X does require a bit of command line usage, but it is fully-explained, simple and only has to be done during the initial installation.

The OS X version can be downloaded at http://www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx.html

Download it, follow the directions in the Readme file, and before long you too will be joining the JT65 revolution!

Windows and Mac getting along!

Win7 working smoothly on my Mac bookpro

I have been operating JT-65 lately and as most of you know who use this mode it offers a nice time management bonus……between exchanges of info you can multi task. I have taken advantage of this with blog writing, surfing the net and updating LOTW as well as EQSL. I wanted to take it a step further by utilizing my KX3 and the living room! I wanted to bring JT-65 and possibly PSK-31 to the recliner in the other room. First off I tried to use a netbook that I had gathering dust but it was just way to slow, it’s very good for email and such but not multitasking of rig software. I then decided to move my Mac laptop into the world of ham radio…but….with a small hitch. I had a copy of Parallel Desktop 8 I was using some years ago, it allows you to load windows on your Mac PC and you can switch between Mac and Windows you then have the best of both worlds. When your PC starts it starts in Mac format with a desktop icon that allows you to enter the Windows world! I loaded the program without issue and then loaded on my Win7 Pro and now I have a Mac book-pro that can run both OS’s. The main reason for doing this is to utilize my many Windows based ham programs. I have tried the free software on the internet for dual OS’s but have found they just don’t do the job. Here is what has happened up to this point I “attempted” to load Win4k3suite but I was informed that my window 7 did not have Net Frameworks 4 installed. Finding and installing this simple program was a frustrating experience. The Microsoft links just did not seem to work, I was told the “site was no longer available. Other sites (and I have experienced this many times in the past) gave you the impression you were downloading Net frameworks 4 but it turned out it was some other commercial program. When I finally and I mean FINALLY found the program it just plain refused to load! A Google search informed me this is not unusual and Microsoft has a fix that I downloaded and all worked fine then. At this point I just have Win4k3suite loaded and ready for install. This will get my rig control up and going and then it’s time to install WSJT-X software, A PSK software and then finally Meinberg NTP time server software.Mike Weir, VE9KK, is a regular contributor to AmateurRadio.com and writes from New Brunswick, Canada.

• I’ve been using Virtual Box with Win 7 on my mac for several years, runs pretty much anything I throw at, even my DV4 mini hardware and NW Digital ThumbDV.

• Good evening Phil. thanks for taking the time to comment and I too was looking at virtual box as well but the computer store had no copies but id have Parallel desktop so I purchased that and have been very happy with it.
  73, Mike

• Virtual Box is a free product fro Oracle. Linux has had this ability for some time as well. Wine, Virtual Box, and VMWare Player are a few of the utilities that are available.

• Good morning Mike, well that would explain why when I asked at the store if it was in stock and was told no……I guess I was had! Oh well I am happy with Parallel Desktop it seems to do the job BUT since the other program is free you will get the latest and greatest upgrades. Thanks for the info Mike and have a great week.
  73, Mike

• Been thinking of loading win7 on my mac pro but have been torn between P & Vm and just cant seem to find what would be better depending on what software I run!!

  Some ham programs and a few games for windows ( when I have time ) still researching which one is better.

  Thanks for the post may try Parallels first then move to VM or vert box.

• Good morning Chad, glad you found the post informative and if you have any questions once you load one of the programs feel free to email me.
  Have a good day 73
  Mike

• Perhaps I missed something but I don’t quite understand the need to wrangle Windows on top of OS X in this situation.

  I use wsjt-x version 1.6.0, which includes JT65 and JT9 as well as WSPR, with my KX3 and MacBook running El Capitan just fine. You can get it from http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx-1.6.0-Darwin.dmg .

  For logging I use Aetherlog (see http://www.aetherlog.com ), which handles LOTW and eQSL automatically, and I connect the two programs with JT Bridge (see http://jt-bridge.eller.nu).

• I hope we get more TNC iPhone apps for running data modes. Such as Olivia, JT65, JT9, FT8, & Winlink.
