I guess I don't understand why you think js8call isn't documented.? It's fully open source.? In most open source projects, you do not get much more than this: ? I guess you can claim it's not documented enough, maybe you can convince the author of the modifications to write more about it?? If I were at all interested I would read the code myself.? I did a little of that years ago with WSJT-X.? ? But whatever... if it has secrets they certainly are open ones...? My issue with js8call is there never seems to be a lot of people on the mode.? At least the limited time I have to operate.? I again miss the glory days of psk31 but I do understand why these modes are technically superior.?

I prefer to use modes that are publicly documented sufficiently that they can't possibly be considered obscured in any way.? Such as FT8, where a full specification was published in QEX. |
