[Nodxa] FT8 news

[R.T.Liddy]

FT8 Users,

I upgraded first thing Monday morning and have had tons

of QSOs since then. Not running into any problems at all.

Wkd several new Grids and 2 new Countries. There is no

reason to put off upgrading since you'll have to do it eventually.

No need to uninstall the older versions & the upgrade keeps

whatever options you had previously, including your Log.

GL/73,   Bob  K8BL

 Hey FT8 Users,
 
 This is from the latest Ohio Section
 PostScript news:

 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!
