I have just set up JS8 (I’m a fist time data mode newby!) your video is the best I have seen on this subject. I had my first QSO into France from the UK. Only using 5 watts. Thankyou and I hope this mode prevails.

@ManOfParts74 3 года назад

Great overview Jason. Been a few months since I ran JS8CALL and this is a perfect refresher.

@leestandley9599 3 года назад

Quality video! Thx for zooming in and panning around the screen.

@GunsandRadios 3 года назад

This is the best js8 video I have watched thanks 🤩

@denniskimrey4129 3 года назад

Thanks for the great video. I have been wanting to learn more about JS8Call.

@kenluning909 2 года назад

Very nice overview of the basics. I just got my install up and running last evening and quite accidently made a contact. LOL. Now I know how it supposed to work. The basics anyway. 73 de W5KAL

Excellent video Jason! I wish you'd made it a year ago, I needed it badly then :) I bumbled along but still learnt some new things now. Thanks and 73!

Ah, things were going well on the setup until you got to the bit about the Radio and Audio. This is where I have a problem and so far not resolved. I realise there will be a multitude of configurations but I cant get my FT897 and UD04YA cable to work. Frustrating as the setup works for WinLink?

@gaptastic 2 года назад

Thank you for the video. I have one stupid question ... what is the send button? I don't see it on the interface. I assume it's the Enter key?

@mikeemerson8563 3 года назад

@billysessions7583 3 года назад

I’m running 40w on js8call i hardly ever get any response to HB . Just curious if any particular offset I need be running?

@todds.1037 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. Some questions: At time stamp 8:30 you talk about mode speeds and band conditions. How does one know if the speed they chose is too fast? Is there a rule of thumb for what speed to choose? Where is the best place to check current conditions? Thanks.

@KM4ACK 2 года назад

I almost always start a conversation in "normal" speed. If the signals are strong, I will move to the next higher speed and confirm the other operator still has good decodes. If so and the signal is still strong, I may try the highest speed. If decodes suddenly start failing, I'll revert to the lower speed that was working. I may move to the slowest speed in order to gain a contact with a weak signal station. It is painfully slow but sometimes just the tool needed to make the contact.

@dus777 2 года назад

I don't want to sound negative, but, uh, how do we use this? Software running, audio is green, hearing whistles, nothing decodes. How about a video that shows how to make it actually work?

@jasonconrad9212 2 года назад

I need a little bit of help. For some reason I don't have any options at all for audio. I have a Mini Pro SC that I use with my KX2, I have no problems using this on a windows laptop. I'd like to get this working with my Raspberry Pi 400. What do I need and how to I go about getting what I assume is a driver for my Raspberry Pi 400? Thanks!

Please repost this question to the forum. It's much easier to provide tech support there groups.io/g/KM4ACK-Pi/topics

@we4selradio591 3 года назад

how are you still getting green highlight in the call list?? mine stopped at start of current version, seems like i saw others saying the same, and we were told it might be fixed in next ver

@KM4ACK 3 года назад

Not sure. As far as I know JS8 on all of my pi's still indicate in green for CQ.

@Mikhael49 Год назад

Question! On the settings frequency tab, there is the option to change the frequency at specified times. Does that actually work? I have not been able to get it to work. Although it does pop up a message box saying it will change frequency in 25 seconds or so. However the frequency change never happens, yet I can change it manually from JS8Call.

@KM4ACK Год назад

Assuming you have rig control configured, it should work. I use it quite often with the latest version of JS8Call. You can also ask in the JS8Call forum where a great group hangs out that is always willing to help - groups.io/g/js8call/topics

@Mikhael49 Год назад

@@KM4ACK Thanks! I know it is in the way I have mine setup.

@jfischer555 2 года назад

I have played around on js8 call, i can do heartbeats, and answer heartbeats. I get no answers when i call cq, or when i try to answer cq's. I am assuming I am doing something wrong....any help would be appriciated

@KM4ACK 2 года назад

If you can decode heartbeats and answer heartbeats, there's probably nothing wrong with your setup. A good way to verify is to send a heartbeat. If you get replies, all is good with your setup.

I'm trying to get my IC-7300 to connect to JS8Call ... has anyone got this working?

@afleak 3 года назад

I tend to get spurious decodes when i set to 3 passes. It will decode to nonsensical call signs, etc. Do you notice this with 4 pass decoding?

@KM4ACK 3 года назад

yep. i get them as well from time to time.

@we4selradio591 3 года назад

@@KM4ACK do you notice significantly more good decodes with >1 pass? haven't studied close, but seems only to increase the garbage, without gaining useful calls.

@mumi009 3 года назад

In the far right window, stations heard, i often see a telephone symbol before the call sign. What does that mean? Good video! Answers many of my JS8Call questions. SV0SGS

@KM4ACK 3 года назад

If I remember correctly, that indicates that they are calling CQ.

@kenhagler7166 3 года назад

It means you heard that station call CQ within the last five minutes.

@Ciudadano707 3 года назад

Very nice video,Jason ! Can you do a video with samples of every kind of relay messages, the syntax ? Tks for your work here. It is super important for future emergencies, syntax for APRS grid locator, e-mail via APRS and SMS. Hasta la vista, Jason & 73

@hzilla5550 Год назад

I'm sorry, but all of this is for naught if you can not get your rig to communicate with JS8call on your computer. It is literally a non starter. Specifically in my case, I can not get my Elecraft KX3 to communicate with JS8Call. Test transmit goes red, hamlib times out and can not connect. I can not enter the frequency of the band in the upper left, even when I use the drop down menu. I also select the KX3 on the radio setup on the menu. No help. No sign of transmission by the KX3 either on the lower left vertical transmission bar. I am using an advanced Lenovo core i7 10th gen computer running Windows 11 and the latest JS8Call version 2.2.0. I don't even know whether to select LSB or data transmission mode on the Elecraft. Neither works. Unless I am mistaken, isn't JS8call a major advancement in SDR almost like SSB was to CW, or RTTY or FSK31 etc? It is incredible that the major radio manufacturers have not outlined the directions to connect their specific rig to computer to enable JS8Call. I have a Signalink but this shouldn't be required with sound cards installed on modern computer, correct?
