I'm an Amateur Radio enthusiast. I love the hobby and experimenting with radios, antennas and software. I have a lot of fun. On my RUclips channel I upload videos mostly on the Icom 7300 and Icom 7610 as well as Ham Radio software programs. I hope to inspire people to get involved in Amateur Radio.

I have just started to use JS8, thank you for your films on how to set it up and use it, very helpful. best regards from the UK.
It's nice to hear from you and thank you so much for commenting here. I appreciate your input. Happy holidays and good DX!
Thanks much -- your advice to just CQ got a hit right away. Good helpful video.
Hi Aldo,
Thank you so much for commenting. I appreciate the feedback. Best wishes to you and yours. 73 - Rich, K0PIR
Thanks for the nice tutorial. I've tried JS8 but haven't made a QSO on it yet, maybe today will be my lucky day. Seems like everyone is on FT8 these days and I find that dull. This looks like a great alternative for making QSOs with weak signals since unlike FT8, we can actually chat!
RedStickHam Yeah there are lots of hams on FT8 and it gets old after a while for me too. With everyone staying at home it seems like there would be more on the air using the other digital modes. Best 73 and hope everything is well with you.
Just set up a Raspberry Pi 4 this week and installed all kinds of software, JS8Call was one of the packages. I was online earlier today and realized I needed to go find a YT video to figure this out. It was pretty confusing so I switched back to CW and had a few great QSOs. I think I kind of get it now from your video. JS8Call looks a little less boring than FT8 and a little more info sharing, I plan on playing around with it this weekend.
Thanks for another great video.
Interesting and helpful. Hope someone writes a tutorial with all the options explained.
Hi Dennis, nice to hear from you. I hear you.
Each version update the options change. I may do a short video or two on options, hopefully they don't change, HI!
Best to you and yours, 73!
Rich, K0PIR
Look up KM4ACK. He has a good bit of tutorials too.
Thanks for another great tutorial to get us up and running.
Thank you Brian! Best 73!
Thanks for reply Rich. I use dimension 4 to sync time. I was using the frequency listed on top left i.e 7078 MHz. I think poor propogation was a factor
That's unusual. They have a new version out. I haven't tried it but it is 1.0.0-rc1 I will have to try it and see if I have trouble.
Hi Rich. I successfully downloaded & installed the latest JS8. 2 questions :
1) You mentioned split mode via rig in the tutorial - Do you manually set the split offset in the software or do you set on your rig?
2) I can hear & see strong signals, but no decode or activity in any rx windows in js8. My settings are pretty much the same on my rig using ft8. I seem to missing something.

Hi and thanks for commenting here. If you set it in WSJT-X then you don’t have to do anything to the radio it will automatically go into split mode. If you’re not decoding anything do you have something to sync your computer time with? Are you on the JS8CALL frequency? I use www.timesynctool.com
Hi Rich. When you mention filters off, are you talking about JS8 software or your rig?
Hi Trent thanks for commenting here and thank you for watching the video. No I was referring to the noise blanker and noise reduction. The auto notch or any notch filters should be off too. That’s 73!
Thanks Rich. Do you ever utilize the filter options within JS8? I'm guessing that setting filter 1 to 3.6k on the 7300/7610 stays the same for all modes
Trent Saunders I don’t I keep them off. I use the widest filter bandwidth, but I know some hams have to narrow the bandwidth because of interference. I just haven’t had that problem. Best 73!
Very interesting Thank you and 73s until next time
Thanks for watching, best 73 - Rich, K0PIR
Very very good video. You have the best intro to JS8Call out there, thanks! 73 KD0MMF
Thank you Dan, I really appreciate your input and I hope all is well where you are. Take care, good luck, good DX and 73!
Have watched many of your videos and are all great...but I have a question on qso forwarding from JS8Call to HRD Log Book. I finally entered HRD....into the rig location in JS8Call and that got my info into HRDlog. Problem being the date formats are not the same. FT8Call uses day first and we use month first. I asked Jordon if the format can be changed in JS8Call and he answered no. Since you mentioned your are using this method have you found a way to get around this?
a very helpful tutorial thank you. The walk-through of the settings was clear as were the examples. Kudos to you for the work!! ZL2JED
It's great to hear from you and thank you for commenting here. Best wishes and good DX!
Great video - big help for me. Did you test it with DXLabs at all? 73 and thanks again de KN3A
Thanks Scott, no I have not got it working. I'll keep looking. 73! - Rich, K0PIR
Love JS8. Need more DX.
Yeah I agree!
Thank your video has helped me out
Kyle Maxwell Thank you for watching the video and thank you so much for commenting. I hope all is well with you and your family. Stay safe and Best 73!
Unfortunately the video is out of focus or the resolution is too low. I could not read anything on js8call screen.
Try increasing your video resolution because it is available in 1080p. Thanks for watching! Best 73.
40m is quiet I am not getting nothing tonight this is my first time on JS8 is it usually quiet of an evening?
Hi Lee, yes it can appear to be. Click on the Heart Beat (top right) and send one out right away. That usually stirs things up. 73 Rich, K0PIR
anyone tried this on CB radio? and what would be the expected range
How critical is it for the time to be sync’d between operators?
Great question, greater than 2 seconds and it'll probably have trouble. I use a time sync program. The good news is "JS8Call includes a manual clock drift tool that you can use to modify your current time to match signals you see / hear (or to an external time source like a Timex watch, a GPS handheld, WWV, or the rooster crowing). This is intended to be used as a fail-safe for when your synchronized time source is not available." 73 Rich, K0PIR
Thanks, I use a Mac and it rarely show’s seconds. I’ll have to investigate the issue. I know when I tried digital the other side “does not see” me which indicates that there may be a time issue. Digital for me is difficult, the time is maybe why....
@@arkyump I use a iMac to sometimes. Maybe have a look at the time drift in JS8Call to see how far it is.
Hope there comes a direct link to download so more people can join easylier
Funtion fantastic on Icom 7200 also ONLY two small adjustment and all is easy up and go 73s and good luck to all It runs amazing
Thanks for the tutorial. I downloaded for windows, but doesn't seem to work with windows 7. Seems to be conflicting opinions.
Hi and thank you. I was unaware of that. Hopefully he'll get it fixed soon and there will be more Hams using it with Win7. Thank you and 73 - Rich, K0PIR.us
I use it on Windows 7 just fine. De KF7VUT
And this is what you all left psk31 for...?
Thank You , great tutorial, 73,s M7SZY
Well I guess I'm famous now HI HI Take it easy. de WU3D
You are da man! Best 73 - Rich, K0PIR
Out of date soft ware very confusing and you go a bit to fast with out really explaining what you are doing
Thanks John. Software updates will keep me in business 👨💼 I’ll watch my speed next time, I know people want it step-by-step and in a slower pace. Thank you for your input, take care and best 73!
Great info. This is N3XUS. I have a Brother who lives in Pierre, S.D.
Thank you so much for commenting! I am headed back to Pierre and hope to stay there for a little while. Best 73 and good DX!
