Late to the party with this one, but K1JT has released WSJT-X 2.7.0-rc6 (and rc5 a bit ago) #hamradio #ft8.

rc5 added “SuperFox” mode, which seems to use closed binaries (I’ve not closely followed the discussions about this), there are some interesting snippets about keys and digital signatures in the notes.

New features are described here: https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx-doc/wsjtx-main-2.7.0-rc6.html#NEW_FEATURES

#hamradio #ft8 (I’m still not a bot :alex_crazy:)

Got my Home Assistant Yellow kit, which of course I ordered before I realised it’s basically impossible to get Raspberry Pi compute modules.

Still, will eventually be fun! Details at https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2021/09/13/home-assistant-yellow/

The Maverick-603 is live on crowd supply and looks pretty interesting.

The first affordable, FT8 receiver with an open source RF chip designed and fabricated using open source chip tools

I’m looking forward to seeing more details in further updates, there’s not a lot about their custom chip yet.
