/

The WSJT Development Group is pleased to announce the general availability (GA) release of WSJT-X Version 2.3.0.

Upgrading from earlier versions of WSJT-X should be seamless. There is no need to uninstall a previous version or move any files. Links to installation packages for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh are available here - https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.htm

It may take a short time for the SourceForge site to be updated. You may be interested to know that, somewhat unusually, a release candidate for Version 2.4.0 of WSJT-X will also be made available very soon.

Its main new feature is a new mode called Q65 with unique capabilities for EME and scatter propagation modes.

A summary of new features can be found in the WSJT-X 2.3 User Guide -https://physics.princeton.edu/…/wsjtx-main-2.3.0_en
