FT8 Users- Listen Up (From Rob,KV8P )
The next couple months will be a tough transition time for FT8 digital 
mode users as users are being asked to make the switch from version 1.91 
to 2.0. (And you will have to in order to keep up) The important thing 
to keep in mind is that the two are no t compatible and might just as 
well be a different mode all together (in some ways) .

Once you make the switch you can no longer decode stations that are 
transmitting using the old version 1.91 software. (This is the big " 
gotcha") Old version 1.91 users are everywhere right now, while the new 
version 2.0 users are minimal but are typically above 2000 on the 
waterfall. If you are running the old version and can't get a reply from 
someone, that is likely why. If you are run ning a 2.0 version and 
aren't getting many good decodes, that is why. Hopefully that helps a 
few people avoid unnecessary troubleshooting time!
