The JTDX 22160 UPD update brings a range of new features and improvements to the software. Some of the key changes include: Improved decoding means you can hear stations others miss
Some users on a variety of hardware setups (including Linux and Windows) report that version 2.2.160 decodes more signals than earlier 2.2.159 versions, as the developers continue to refine the core decoding logic.
The story of this update took a dramatic turn when the developer, Igor Chernikov (UA3DJY), and his collaborator Arvo Järve (ES1JA), allegedly halted public updates. Some of the key changes include: Some users
Upgrading is simple, but always back up your data first. Copy your jtdx.ini file (with your settings and callsign) to a safe folder before starting.
Recommended for standard setups and general operations.
Despite the advancements, the 2.2.160 update was not without its challenges. Because it was a beta RC track, users frequently reported quirks. A known issue involved the software displaying on the main screen and saving them incorrectly to the log. There were also reports of audio issues, where the software would lose the audio stream or transmit at 100% power immediately upon configuration. Some operators using Flex radios reported that after the update, the frequency displayed in JTDX seemed "skewed" 3-4 KHz lower than the actual VFO, though this was often traced back to a misconfigured setting.
