There is a provision to run any other software (I started with wsjtx) using the last of the mode settings : digital. You can run these additional modes like you would on a conventional radio.
That said, js8call actually works right now. You have to use a simple hack:
With "/ft8mode manual" you can disable the auto feature of ft8, now just tune to the JS8call and chat away. Anything you type on the display will get transmitted

Hi Ashhar,
Thank you very much for the response.? I understand the timing bit.? My company has been having a rough go of it just getting certain IC stocks to build circuit boards.? We make UPS equipment for large data centers.? The past two years have been very challenging for us and I am sure for you as well.? I am not sure quite yet what I will order but I will be ordering.
Question: If you are using the raspberry PI 4 (it has two HDMI outputs): Can you run a raspberry version of JS8Call (for example) and have the JS8Call user interface displayed on the second HDMI and still retain the primary monitor for the "native" sBITX interface?? Maybe that isn't available for the immediate release but it sure would be great if it came at a later date.
Thanks again for your hard work and quality products.? I think you have earned a nice profit.
