Jtdx 2.2 160 [hot] -
The release notes mention “improved sync stability for very low SNR.” In plain English: the software now handles the long, deep fades typical of 160m NVIS and gray-line propagation. You’ll notice fewer partial decodes and more clean callouts, even when the band sounds dead to your ears.
Cold winter nights and high-power amplifiers can cause transmitter drift on 160m. JTDX v2.2.160 refines the AFC algorithm, keeping the decoder locked onto drifting signals longer. This means fewer “ghost” decodes and more completed QSOs with stations using older tube gear or temperature-sensitive oscillators. jtdx 2.2 160

Some hams prefer WSJT-X for its simplicity. But JTDX v2.2.160 retains its faster waterfall refresh rate and multi-decoding passes—critical when a brief 160m opening appears and disappears in minutes. FT4 is fine for contests, but for weak-signal DX on 160m, JTDX’s deeper sensitivity wins. JTDX v2
