The first thing I noticed was there was a lot more settings I needed to take care of so I spent a while going through the settings and figuring out what would work with my Kenwood TS-570D and Ham Radio Deluxe 5.x. I downloaded WSJT-X and started playing with it on FT8 to come up with some answers.
JT65 was a great protocol that got me a lot of contacts so I was a little confused how its popularity could go from massive to non-existent in just a few years.
That’s good to know, but still doesn’t explain what happened to JT65. Those weird sounds on the JT65 frequencies? FT8. That is until I looked through a lot of online forums and discovered that virtually no one was talking about JT65 anymore, it was all FT8. I chalked this up to bad reception and decided to try it again on another day.Ī few days later I fired it up and had the same exact problems, and no solutions to be found. I could not put my finger on it, but those musical tones I thought I remembered just sounded different somehow. I also noticed that the sounds on the JT6 frequencies sounded ‘off’. I tested everything I could, reinstalled my sound device, readjusted all the settings, checked my cables, nothing. To my astonishment, I could not get it to work. I had not played with JT65, or any digital modes, in several years but had fond memories of using it. Why am I wondering what happened to JT65? The other day I decided to fire up my JT65 software and make some contacts.
