WSJT X is a Windows software that helps radio amateurs and scientists to detect weak signal waves. It is necessary to use a hardware antenna to work with this tool.

Brief description

With the help of this utility you are able to communicate with other people over great distances utilizing different frequencies and protocols.

There is live astronomical data provided in the app. This feature is intended for users who want to bounce radio signals from the Sun or the Moon and detect the weak comeback wave. Exotic propagation options such as high-speed meteor scatter are supported.

This program is a modified version of the WSJT application.

Available modes

WSJT X offers users several different protocols for connection. They are grouped depending on the functionality.

Most often used modes – FS4, FT4, FT8, JT4, JT9, JT65 and Q65 – are designed for creating a reliable link between two radio stations under weak-signal conditions.

The MSK144 protocol helps you take advantage of brief signal enhancements from aircraft scatter and ionized meteor trails. WSPR mode is intended for probing potential propagation paths. It utilizes low-power transmissions.

Echo option allows users to detect the very weak return wave from a signal reflected off the Moon.
