CW, FT8 and RTTY beta

Decode and transmit from RadioLog, with no other program. Three windows that share the sound card, the PTT and the look.

FT8 Studio

FT8 with automatic QSOs

It decodes with the decoder of the WSJT-X you already have installed and transmits with RadioLog's own encoder.

  • Double-click a station and the sequencer (AutoSeq) runs the QSO: report, confirmation and 73.
  • CQ and directed CQs (DX, NA, EU…), free-text macros and a band selector that changes your radio's frequency over CAT.
  • Colours for new DXCC, zone, grid, prefix and callsign; a “Wanted” list; stations already worked struck through or hidden.
  • Distance and bearing, filters and automatic QSO logging.
FT8 Studio
CW Studio

Several CW stations at once

  • It finds the signals and opens a channel for each one, with its tone and speed.
  • Zero beat: you see how far the station is from your tone, and RadioLog can tune the radio for you.
  • Send text and F1–F8 macros, with an everyday set and a contest set.
CW Studio
RTTY Studio

RTTY with waterfall and macros

  • Decoder with AFC, optional ATC and automatic detection of inverted signals.
  • Transmission with macros in banks, PTT and a continuous or automatic send key.
  • Contest exchange in the QSO entry, saved and exported in ADIF.
RTTY Studio

Step-by-step guide

Chapter 12 of the manual explains each Studio, the settings and troubleshooting.

Features in testing (beta). Try them at low power and, for CW, with a proper interface (never DTR/RTS straight to the key).

And more modes are coming

FT4 and other digital modes can already be used with WSJT-X or JTDX connected to RadioLog. More built-in modes will arrive in future versions.

Third-party acknowledgement. For reception and decoding, FT8 Studio uses the external executable jt9.exe from the WSJT-X project, developed by Joe Taylor (K1JT) and contributors under the GNU GPLv3 licence. RadioLog does not include or distribute that executable: WSJT-X has to be installed separately. The operating interface, transmit control and FT8 encoder/modulator of RadioLog are developed independently.

Try it, it's free

Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit. It installs in a minute and needs no registration.
