Completing it brings you to a pretty cluttered interface, seeing that it consists of a menu bar, multiple buttons, several boxes and all kind of information all throughout the main window. You are required to go through a smooth setup process which is over in a jiffy. You want to remember to re-enable the Enable Multi option or you will just continue to decode the offset for the QSO you just had vs the bandwidth for the waterfall. The program has a built in log which can generate an ADIF file of contacts you can import into your favorite logging program.JT65-HF was built specifically as an amateur radio tool for receiving and transmitting the JT65A protocol, and comes packed with several predefined QRG (frequencies used by ham radio operators) and message definitions. It required no typing and just double clicking.

You can see from the times that I saw his CQ 20:02 and finished sending my 73 as the last exchange which completed at 20:08. Here’s a screen shot of an exchange (click to enlarge):ġ) EA3CS called CQ (green highlighted line) at 20:01z and I decode it at 20:02zĢ) I double clicked that line which captured his call and grid square and told JT65-HF to send my call and grid squareģ) EA3CS acknowledged and sent my signal report (red line) which I receive at 20:04zĤ) I double clicked his response which captured my report and told JT65-HF to send EA3CS his reportĥ) EA3CS replied back confirming with RRR (red line) at 20:06zĦ) I double clicked his QSL and it sent him back EA3CS K2DSL 73 The CQing station then sends 73 and you send 73. The next 47 seconds your radio is in transmit sending the report. You have 13 seconds to see it and either double click the acknowledgement or click on Send Report. Assuming the CQing station picks up your call, he has ~13 seconds to initiate the action which QSLs it from his end.

You double click on their CQ in the list before it hits the top of the minute and the program sends your call back to them for 47 seconds. A JT65 cycle occurs as follows:ġ) On the top of each minute 47 second transmission occur.Ģ) There is a pause for 13 seconds which allows everyone to select their next actionĪ typical QSO is a station sends CQ and at 47 secs after each minute you can see what stations are calling. Using JT65-HF is essentially point-and-click. I watched a couple quick YouTube videos to get the idea and I was off and running. I did reduce the audio gain on the main screen until the signals were the only noticeable output on the waterfall. I have a SignaLink USB and just needed to select the SignaLink in the drop-downs for input and output devices. Configuration involved just specifying my call, grid square, soundcard input.output and PTT port. Installation and configuration was very straightforward for me.
#Jt65 hf setup free
I would suggest the free NetTime program at which installs as a Windows service. You need to have accurate time and need a time check/sync program that is more frequent than one built into Windows. I eventually found the current version at . The ARRL has a link at but it is for an older version.
#Jt65 hf setup download
I was not able to download off Sourceforge as the link kept telling me the file wasn’t found. The hardest part seemed to be finding the actual download. Why waiting for the family to get ready, I figured I’d download JT65-HF and give it a try.
