Screenshot Mouseover JT-65 HF is easy to use. Entire Qso's can be made with a few clicks of the mouse. A separate, ACCURATE Time Server program like 'Symmtime' must be installed and running to decode properly!!

JT-65A is a relatively new sound card digimode specially optimized for HF and Dx, and very resistant to QRM / QSB. It is known as a the "weak signal" mode and can be decoded at an extremely low SNR (-24 dB) level. JT-65HF software is amazingly intuitive and easy to use.

•
CQ and QSO exchange info. is sent using templates activated by Mouse clicks. The keyboard is only used to make modifications to templates or create short manual entries.
•
Manual messasges can be sent containing up to 13 characters at a one time. The JT-65A vocabulary includes: numbers 0-9, caps A-Z, space, and punctuation + - . / and ?
•
DX contacts around the world can be worked with very low power, often 20 watts or less, and a signal can be copied with as weak as -24 DB signal-to-noise level.
•
JT-65 HF software can be set to automatically poll and display active received signals from across a pre-set passband, similar to the superbrowser in HRD's DM-780.
•
Rig Control/PTT is possible through HRD, Power SDR, other third party software, and COM ports.
•
Contacts are made in a brief and simplified format with exchange of callsigns, signal report, grid location, and salutations, similar to contesting format. (A typical QSO involves 3-4 one minute exchages from each station.)
•
The Radio can be “parked” on a designated JT-65A USB frequency and the software will then control bandpass. Frequencies are : 28.076, 24.920, 21.076, 18.120,14.076, 10.139, 7.036, 7.039, 7.076, 3.576, 1.838, and 1.805 mHz.
