WS - Digital Mode Suite
formerly known as WSJT-X Improved
WS is an innovative suite of programs for weak-signal digital communication in amateur radio by Uwe Risse DG2YCB et al., formerly known as WSJT-X Improved. WS grew out of WSJT-X by Joe Taylor K1JT, Steve Franke K9AN, Bill Somerville G4WJS, Uwe Risse DG2YCB and others (https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/). The WS Suite consists of three programs: WS (the main program), WS-MAP (wideband Q65 monitor) and EME65 (wideband JT65/Q65 for EME). The WS main program supports FT8, FT4, FT2, JT4, JT9, JT65, Q65, FST4, MSK144, WSPR, FST4W, and Echo. Notes: The WS Suite is licensed under GNU GPL v3 (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt). I am not aware of any adverse effects. However, use it at your own risk! WS, including its logo and all program components, is protected by copyright. Any use or modification of the code or parts thereof (e.g., the adaptation of individual program functions), is permitted only if the origin of that function or code is clearly indicated. -

WSJT
Weak signal ham radio communication
The WSJT project implements software for amateur radio communication using state-of-the-art digital techniques. Typical applications involve "DXing" at LF, MF, HF, and VHF+ frequencies, including meteor scatter and EME ("moonbounce"). Major emphasis is placed on weak-signal techniques. Summary Program Descriptions: WSJT-X supports the communication protocols FST4, FT4, FT8, JT4, JT9, JT65, Q65, MSK144, WSPR, FST4W, and Echo, each optimized for different sorts of radio-wave propagation. MAP65 and QMAP are designed for EME at VHF and higher frequencies. MAP65 provides a panoramic, polarization-matching receiver for the Q65 and JT65. modes. QMAP works together with WSJT-X to provide a panoramic receiver for Q65 modes covering a 90 kHz sub-band. Programs WSJT and WSPR are interesting primarily for historical reasons. They are superseded by WSJT-X. -

(https://sourceforge.net/projects/jtdx/). Both my and Igor's forks are based on the excellent WSJT-X software by Joe Taylor K1JT, Steve Franke K9AN, Bill Somerville G4WJS, myself and others (https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/). After the succes of my wsjt-x_improved project (https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt-x-improved/) I thought it was time to implement some of its enhancements now also to JTDX … Notes: jtdx_improved is experimental and is licensed under GNU GPL v3 (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt).

Nexus Ham Radio
All-mode ham radio operations center: 9 modes TX, APRS, awards
Nexus puts the whole ham station in one modern app: FT8/FT4 with WSJT-X-grade sequencing plus Q65, FST4, FST4W, MSK144, JT65 and WSPR all transmitting, RTTY, SSTV, APRS, SSB/FM phone, and CW with a neural-net decoder. The rig's own RF panadapter streams into the cockpit on native-CI-V Icom and FlexRadio. The waterfall pauses and rewinds. Route each band and mode to the radio that does it best, across up to three rigs. Awards (DXCC, WAS, WAZ, VUCC, IOTA) compute offline, and an eQSL or QRZ match never inflates an LoTW-grade award. Propagation uses a native ITU-R P.533 port and scores openings on receivers near you, not the global firehose. APRS draws real station symbols, decodes weather reports, connects to APRS-IS, and runs a receive-only iGate. Speaks WSJT-X's UDP protocol byte-for-byte, so GridTracker and JTAlert keep working. Its FT8/FT4 decode floor measures -21.3 dB against stock WSJT-X's -20.7 on identical audio. Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi. GPL-3.0, by KD9TAW. -

echoes
Echoes is a radio spectral analysis software for SDR devices
Echoes it's a radio spectral analysis software for SDR devices, designed for meteor scattering purposes. The older releases supported only RTL-SDR devices. They are very cheap SDR based on DVB-T TV tuner dongles based on Realtek's RTL2832U chipset. Starting from 0.50 Echoes embeds SoapySDR allowing the support of many other SDRs. Echoes doesn't demodulate neither decode any human-made signal. Its main goal is to analyze and record the total power of natural signals and generate screenshots and tabular data (CSV,) output in presence of particular peaks in a selected narrow range of frequencies. Since there is no demodulation, there is no provision for audio listening, except for a notify sound when an event has been recorded. Finally, Echoes can also operate getting an audio input, thus producing audio spectra. This way, Echoes can also be used with traditional receivers. -
