Death of FT8?!?!...Maybe

[@jeantantol5809]

vara ACchat even better... on all fronts

[@vtradio]

I got on FT4 recently, and everyone was having a hard time decoding me. I only made a handful of contacts over 45 minutes. I'm going to miss all 4 of the practice sessions in May and June because of schedule conflicts. Either my part time job or a ham radio club meeting. Bummer.

[@AE4VJ]

VT RADIO you may want to check you PC time. Do you have a good time sync app? Timing is very critical. Also you input levels to your radio should be checked. You want little to 0 ALC. take a look at my FT8 video for help with both of those.

[@vtradio]

@@AE4VJYes, Dimension 4 is always running, and ALC is at zero. I'm using the sound card interface built into the TS-590S. There may be a slight delay with this method. I might try the RIGblaster via the mic connector.

Its more important to get the timing right

[@AE4VJ]

Timing is the most important. Next is keeping the audio out of the ALC. you will need to use an app to keep your pc clock in check. Take a look at the notes for the ft8 video.

[@vtradio]

@@ralphwilmot6351 Yes, timing is correct with Dimension 4. I got Worked All States in 3 days, once I got rolling. I rarely get on it anymore because I work the band out in 30 minutes. 73 Paul AA1SU PS You're in my log 3 times.

FT4 has started to catch on, now my prefered mode G4PEY

[@AE4VJ]

It’s more of a contest mode

[@ralphwilmot6351]

@@AE4VJ More than a contest mode, found to be very good on QRP and is FT8 on steroids

[@AE4VJ]

It does seem to get you a little more hyped up :). Not as good on weak signals, but seems to be as good or better than cw
