can you make an ft8 one?

[DuckyPolice]

ft8 would be cool since wspr is relatively unused now. or js8call would be also really cool

Please give https://github.com/kholia/Pico-FT8-TX a try - thanks!

JS8Call on a PicoW would be very interesting, not sure if the Pico is upto the decoding though.

Would js8call you decode on a 3 year old android, un loved, from the back of the drawer? Sad androids have a screen keyboard mic speaker ble wifi.

https://github.com/aa1gd/pico_ft8_xcvr and forks already exist ;)

It should be "easy enough" to add JS8 decoding but no one around here seems to be using that mode - hence no interest in getting it to work personally.

Well apparently I was wrong and the Pico will do the decoding, I think the phone would be good to read/send messages via the PicoW.

ETA: I wonder if direct undersampling with physical bandpass filter would work?

Thanks for the link!

If you build it, they will come... JS8 on Picow would have many people chatting across continents, and if you assume that users have a phone for the interface it looks like a cheap build hardware-wise.

I guess we need to distinguish here between decoders/encoders and whole transmitters. The latter is the pico-WSPR-tx software that even creates the hf-signal. For the other types mentioned (like ft8) you still need a separate transceiver. Means, the software types are not comparable and I’m still super happy about WSPR just on the picow (although tuned with some filters so peace of mind - and band).

I have an ongoing stem plan for 75 million 14 year olds to tiny text at 11 mw to one buddy deep in the static of 27.314 MHz. Someday.

@kholia i like a lot of your projects and when i found out your github, i had a blast going through all the pico projects you made. but what i think would be really cool would be a modification of the CW one to be able to configure it through the terminal and stuff. so like have commands to change the frequency, wpm, etc. and also be able to do a SEND command to send text just by typing something in and pressing enter. cheers! (also, turning on the issues tab on your repos allows feedback like this)
