Totally awesome program. Thank you for the info.

[@snowdiddley4634]

Worked with Grid Tracker this morning, got frustrated, came to your and Tag’s presentation. Five minutes later presto. Thx and 73.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Glad it helped!

Thank you so much!

GridTracker has made my life much funnier! Tnx N0TTL! 73 from PU4IGO.

[@RobertMacCready]

Tag has "given" us an amazing gift in Grid Tracker. We need to support his efforts. I hope everyone donates to him. I know I will. THANKS TAG!

[@M0JHN]

How brilliant, I watched and followed along and absolutely love it!!!

[@runnamuckreviewsreviewsont7948]

Thank you for all your knowledge Josh. It makes Trucking smooth catching up on your ham radio videos

[@sfrahm1]

Thank you for the superb directions & for developing some of my favorite software ever, like this & WinAmp. I'm still missing some of these settings. Getting there... Some more items related to FT-8 success. First hurdle was realizing that FT-8 was always USB-D on ALL bands. Remembering to unplug the Mic. Finding a good logger, i.e. Log4OM. Got FLRig behaving with the newest version. Now using WSJT-X Improved. Windows 10 advanced app sound settings. '73!

[@CripSkillz]

This is awesome program, thx guys followed along n got it all set up sweet ,. Sickkk!

[@onewolf3750]

I just started JT8 today. THIS IS GREAT!

[@michaeld9585]

Amazing program I can’t wait to get home and download it and apply it to FT8!!! Thank you Tag and Dennis for sharing this!!! I hope to work both you guys!!! Michael AC2OY

Great program! Excellent App and excellent guest. Perhaps have him back again and cover in detail, how to configure the "Callable Roster". Thanks Josh! Your videos rock.

I am excited about this program and Tag is constantly improving it. :-) Greetings from Germany, DL9GTB

very very informative Josh , makes more sense with the new version , M3DCI UK

[@JeffPalmer941]

great stream tonight!

[@BobBroeking]

Grid Tracker has changed... buttons in video no longer there or have changed; maybe time to update this video. Thanks for this video!

[@randygc3704]

Great video. Helped me configure and get more use of my Gridtracker setup. Playing with it after the video I got a confirmed (LoTW) contact in Delaware! Hope you got one of yours confirmed. Thanks and 73 Randy KAØAZS

[@alphapapa77]

The way I understand it, a technician class operator can use FT8 on 10m as this is considered data? Or is data and digital different? Time to upgrade to General regardless...

Awesome video! It is very helpful. Thank you for sharing. 73 AC0AE

[@Lymitliss]

Did the "H" command go away in the current version? I can't get it to work...doesn't look like it's in the hot key list either.

[@shawnp6653]

Cool! Can't wait to get my station setup and using the digital modes like FT8. Would one need GridTracker and JTAlert?

[@tony2wheelz408]

OK, The WSJT IS another program. Got it. Is the computer connected to the radio? is that why im getting an invalid output? I should have this down soon.

[@tglenn3121]

I"m not getting those 'lines' to show up when I run this software even though I've followed the 'settings' indicated in this video. Any suggestions as to why that's happening? Thanks.

[@johnwfleming2077]

Great video. When you work contacts, I see your LOG QSO Popup, and then when you click OK, I hear the "ping-coin" confirmation. I used to get this too, but have lost that feature. I think it has something to do with my audio device selection. Could yu comment with how you have the Audio tab of Gridtracker set? Thanks! John, WA9ALS

[@tightspotpro6755]

Its funny watching these videos when you want to get an idea where to start some things. You start off the main topic of discussion after you backed up and described how to update using as sd card. For old dudes like my self, we kind of need that other part also > lol

[@Yochanangp]

Hi from i4oqa, Yochanan.

[@k2rcb]

Go Delaware! Funny I worked KC3LOJ last month on 40m FT8 - he lives like 3 miles from me.

[@rogerp5816]

Tag didn't event touch on running multiple instances of WSJT-X so you can work multiple bands as once using a Flex Signature Series radio. When you're working multiple bands and modes at once GridTracker really shines.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

We talked about it on the afterchat :D

[@rayharkins9564]

What version is this? I have 2016 looks different than mine

[@TonyLing]

Now I've just got to be able to work out how to install it

Absolutely Fabulous!!! ♡♡♡

[@darrellcollins877]

Fascinating program, I love watching the active signals going across the screen. QUESTION: when I transmit, my map zooms in now, it wont go back to normal until I halt transmitting, any ideas why ?

[@ambitiouslawn1678]

Does anyone know where grid tracker saves the ADIF on a Mac? I want to upload it to QRZ

[@kevinmatthews2620]

reference the conversation i was speaking with a delaware ham via the chat function on jt alert and he did say there is not a lot of hams in delarare, luckily i got them in the log for my mixed WASb , the hardest one to confirm was a "big gun contester" who took 4 weeks to upload his logs to lotw, so when i download into qrz 4 weeks later i get the qrz mixed WAS, i already got the 50 states within lotw, just a quick question regards the grid mapper is there a max amount of calls that can be downloaded from lotw into it ???, interesting video so far , (1 hr 27 mins in) keep it up my man, 73's de kevin

[@wvsparkey1]

Hey Josh! The old GridTracker has been through many changes since this vid. Heck there is a manual in the works now, with a bunch of new features added to the software. Time for a 'new and improved' cast? Just sayn', I'd like to see one if ya can get Tags to do it. :)

[@rodkirt9273]

I have one, do not have the capacity to use it, do not feel that I should have to pay for being able to use it. I have it for 3 years and have not used/been able to communicate or use it; love the capabilities of this wonderful unit; have not been able to use it; it is placed in a comfortable place and not used . Bought extra standby batteries and ‘ needed equipment ‘ and have not been able to use it. Post helpful information.

[@tony2wheelz408]

It doesn't start like this anymore or I have it very wrong on two computers. WSJT doesn't start up automatically

[@doomgod314]

I understand that ham radio doesn’t allow for encryption. Is there a license I can get to allow me to experiment privately with encryption above 50 watts?

[@sfrahm1]

Part 90 business license. Multi-step process. Not cheap. Was called Private Land Mobile Radio before. Now is called Industrial/Business Radio Pool (the new Subpart C of Part 90, Title 47 CFR).

[@chrisj0]

Seems cool, but can I make it normal colors? Or does it have to be clown colors on black? The website is also "make your eyes bleed" black with white text.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Yeah do whatever you like.

[@Terribleguitarist89]

Huh, wasn't tracking they were doing online testing now. Makes sense given the COVID restrictions everywhere.

[@runnamuckreviewsreviewsont7948]

Hey Josh, would a EMP take out ways to communicate via ham radio? And if not on you explain here or in a live video how that would work out. Say a Solar emp or a military emp. Would love to learn how this all works in those scenarios.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

I did a video on this topic. The answer is Yes, No and Maybe.

[@runnamuckreviewsreviewsont7948]

@@HamRadioCrashCourse Lol thank you. Last but not least, what video name is this that you made?

[@runnamuckreviewsreviewsont7948]

@@HamRadioCrashCourse Also I have a Baofeng set and programmed somewhat, with all accessories with a solar powered usb charger bank and baofeng usb charger cable, all in a EMP and EMF Faraday cage. Just in case.. But definitely would love to know how this scenario would play out.

How do you connect it to your N3FJP log?

How can I find a place nearby to take my exam? I checked the ARRL website and put my zip code in and no results. Any suggestions?

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

[@tony2wheelz408]

This video might be a little old, the exclamation point to start up doesn't exist, and WSJT doesn't automatically start like this. At least not for me. Trying to load on a Mac and a PC and I think I am missing something. I search for wsjt knowing it's a different file but the computer comes up with nothing. Im not real tech savvy, but im willing to keep at it. Its a great program

[@GMELECTRONICS365]

You wanna blow your mind?, set up a VM machine or work station on your home network with the WSJTX running and whatever logging software, for me this is N3FJP, I also use JTAlert I have this forwarding the packets to my laptops IP address, I connect to my home network using a VPN and I always get the same IP address based on my mac address, now you have a remote control with all the bells and whistles. ;) 73's

[@DaninVirginia]

How come you and Tag literally skipped the "General" tab in Gridtracker? If its not right, GT won't work at all.
