Digital Mode JS8 real time translation in foreign language!

And yet another Ad for the yet to be released JS8. Copy and paste from Google translator is not a "feature" of JS8 so this post is just misleading and yet another JS8 Ad.

Not News either. Must be getting quiet on JS8.

 

You may be right. Not seeing any appreciable JS8 activity on the bands via PSKReporter - no, wait ...

What's this ... can't be! Activity globally (on 40 meters) for the last 6 hrs using JS8? Shirley, tell me it isn't true!

 

What does that have to do with posting Ads for JS8 calling it news and misleading its "features"?

 

Direct response to your previous post.

re:

You: "Not News either. Must be getting quiet on JS8."
Me: "You may be right. ..."

 

And now for the truth. If I were working a digital mode based on FT8, I could work all these stations in (edit to be fair) "30 minutes".

 

Not getting your point. Maybe you don't know this?
JS8 is a QSO mode, not a WAS/WAC inside-of-a-week-in-between-bowl-games mode.
Offers same low-SNR advantage as FT8.
Has "sel-call" capability.
Can relay or forward messages to/from other stations through the JS8CALL app.

You know all this - right?

 

This was my point.

 

Parity error. Somewhere in xmission, probably the media we're using (computers, like JS8, FT8, JT65, WSPR, PSK31, Olivia, STANAG, BPSK64 etc.) ...

 

Yup,sounds like a bunch of Hams at a roundup .

 

I'm not knocking JS8 or its ability...I'm knocking the Ads for it.

 

Point already addressed. Further up thread. I really need not repeat it. I'd really rather finish viewing some interesting vids put out by the "IntlSpyMuseum" folks. I think everyone would.

Software is a good idea to expand the box based digi modes.
Unfortunately one has to register to get the software.
Annoying to give always and everywhere personal footprints, so I won't download it.

No one will mail you a copy either? Bummer ...

 

Not true Dave. Not true. There is a 'notice' that comes up on a small window that is instantly dismissible with a quick mouse click on the expiry dates is all. Maybe you're recalling an earlier, previous release, but it hasn't worked that way for a few releases now. Trust me (or not), but I test these things too (usually, because of laziness. I'm a slacker at heart.)
