Js8Call For Amateur Radio

JS8Call is an amateur radio digital mode based on FT8 that allows for keyboard-to-keyboard messaging between operators. It was created by Jordan Sherer KN4CRD to build on FT8's robustness while adding an interactive messaging component. Unlike FT8 which only transmits signal changes, JS8Call enables operators to have full QSO conversations by exchanging typed messages. It uses the WSJT-X software but modifies it to support messaging and networking capabilities specific to JS8Call.

have messaging and networking capabilities.
WHERE DID IT COME FROM?

• Mode is technically defined as JS8, because it is a


derivative of FT8 with 8-FSK modulation
• Was originally called FT8Call, then changed to
JS8Call to not be confused with FT8.
NOT JUST ANOTHER DIGITAL MODE

LET’S TAKE
A LOOK
WARNING!!!!!
The JS8 modulator is a constant envelope, full-duty
modulation.
Please make note of the power restrictions your
transceiver manufacturer recommends for full-duty
digital transmissions. When in doubt, use only a
maximum of 50% of your rig’s power output to “save
your finals”.
ENOUGH BLAH BLAH BLAH
