A beta release of WSJT8 is now available on the WSJT Home Page.
The following text comes from the first page of the WSJT8 User's Guide,
http://www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/WSJT8_User.pdf
######################################################################
WSJT8 is an experimental version of the familiar weak-signal
communication program WSJT. It offers new protocols or "modes" optimized
for meteor scatter, ionospheric scatter, EME, microwaves, and QRP at HF.
Like the modes in previous versions of WSJT, the new ones are intended
for making minimal QSOs, not for rag-chewing. WSJT8 modes are not
compatible with those in WSJT7. To use the new modes, transmitting and
receiving stations must *both* use WSJT8.
This introductory User’s Guide explains how the new experimental modes
differ from the familiar modes FSK441, JT6M, JT65, and JT4. It assumes
that you are already familiar with installing and using WSJT7. Please
consider the Guide is a living document; it will be modified and
extended frequently in coming weeks. The online version can be called up
with a single keystroke from within WSJT8, so you can easily check for
updates.
My working hypothesis is that the new modes in WSJT8 offer significant
advantages over those in WSJT7 — and that it will probably make sense to
recommend a complete switch-over some months from now. For that
transition to happen in an orderly fashion, we’ll need a widely held
consensus that the change is for the better. If one of the new modes
does not live up to present expectations, or for another reason it’s
decided that some feature of WSJT7 should be retained, that wish can
probably be accommodated.
Input from users will be important following the initial beta release of
WSJT8. I need to know what works, what doesn’t work, what should be
improved, and what enhancements should be given highest priority. All
comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Please note: Before using WSJT8, be sure to read this full document to
familiarize yourself with the design goals and motivations for the new
modes, and with the available message formats.
