At what point is the video title answered? What is FT8? I still don't know what it is after watching. I can't find that question asked & answered in the video. It's like you'rell talking to people who already know what it is.

[@Safair1306]

True.... the question was not answered...

[@Aussie_Ham_Radio]

Do you need me to do a video that explains FT8 besides how it is used?

[@user-dt7zx1kd8j]

i hear a lot of "charley Brown teacher"..zzzzz

[@aerodicus]

I just asked the same and saw your comment half way through. I’ll try another search.

[@GeorgeGalanis1010]

Also looking for such a video. Any updates?

[@temporarilyoffline]

Great Video! #FT8Off Rulez!

[@Aussie_Ham_Radio]

Thank you TO - Steve FT8

[@onceways]

Great video, under Recieve I don't get the band reading like you do just '..no activity...' - Any idea what I'm doing wrong. It says "No data yet.." it's talking to my Xiegu G90 via WSJTX.

[@brianmartin7964]

Do you have an updated link for the WSJT-X software?

[@Aussie_Ham_Radio]

I think they recently changed a link. But you should be able to find it with google

[@nealbeach4947]

Cold and impersonal.

[@MrTommy001]

I don't think I'm even remotely interested now. I just want to press the PTT button - AND TALK!

[@nealbeach4947]

FT8 is for people that just like texting because that's basically what it is.

Can you share what program this is?
