Digital communications pioneer (and Nobel
Laureate) Joe Taylor, K1JT, is warning users of his WSJT-X HF digital software
only to use those versions of the software developed by his team and officially
released on his website.
According to the ARRL Letter, Taylor says some individuals are making their own "releases" of WSJT-X using open-source code, but warns that if you use them on the air, "you have no idea what you've got." He adds that subsequent observations of what does and doesn't work are "worse than useless" in that they "waste your time and ours." WSJT-X is currently in experimental form.
